The resulting char should be added to another STRING. My code looks like: Code: int i = 1; while(i<length(myString1)-1) { str_cat(myString2,_str(str_getchr(myString1,i))); i++; } Unfortunately, my result string (myString2) contains some stupid characters in between... Any ideas why? Thanks in advance! Terrain tutorial using Shade-C amBx-Plugin - use amBx in GameStudio 3D Tower Defence

You could do something like this instead: str_cat(myString2, " "); str_setchr(myString2, str_length(myString2), str_getchr(myString1, i));

(untested of course) Code: for(i=0; i<length(myString1); i++) { str_cat(myString2, _str((myString1.chars)[i])); } //or int i = 1; while(i<length(myString1)-1) { str_cat(myString2,_str( (myString1.chars)[i-1] )); i++; } "There is no fate but what WE make." - CEO Cyberdyne Systems Corp.
