Character Array Passing Problems

[Guest_imported]

I have a character array of length 280 and when I pass it into a function in any way ( reference, value, etc.) it always says the size of the character array is now 4. Then on the next line of code, I have it print out the array and it is all still there but it lists the size as 4. Any ideas why this may be happening? Thanks

This, as weird as it seems, is correct. You sizeof operation is happening on a pointer and not the actual string. To determin the lenght of the string, use strlen. if it is not a string and just a buffer, pass the length into the function. Short of that, there is no way to determine the actual size.

Thanks. Seems strange but i guess I can understand it. It worked so that's all that matters then.
