Why is inchar giving bad values? Changing literally anything in this code fixes it, like removing the wait, removing the parameter whatever.

Code:

#include <acknex.h>
#include <default.c>

STRING* testStr="abcd";

void input(STRING* str)
{
	while(1)
	{
		char lol=inchar(NULL);
		printf(lol);
		wait(1);
	}
}
void main()
{
	input(testStr);
}

EDIT: Also having lol as var and then casting as char gives bad values.

You cant do "printf(lol);" because every char pointer/array has to be terminated using "0" called the string terminator.

^: also printf needs a specific syntax, consisting of a static format string, followed by as many vars as you want to display.

so it's printf("%c", lol); for a single char.

EDIT: oh, and try putting a wait(1); between the inchar and the printf.
I think I had to use something similar when I made a japanese kana input for someone.

Okay solved! Sorry I have completely forgotten to null-terminate the char >.<"

Thanks!
