I have a little bit hard time with Istring.
There is my code:
OPENCONSOLE
DEF Text[10,512] AS Istring
FOR A=0 TO 9
Text[A] = STRING$(511,"H")
PRINT LEN(Text[A])
Func(Text[A])
NEXT A
DO:UNTIL INKEY$<>""
END
SUB Func(Ftext AS String)
DEF MyString[512] AS IString
MyString = Ftext
Print Len(MyString)
ENDSUB
The â€Ã...“SUB Funcâ€Ã, won’t compile with Istring so I tried to use String instead.
It works but I am worried that I kind of â€Ã...“over-stretchingâ€Ã, the String so I put it immediately into another Istring variable to work with.
Could it cause a memory overwrite despite that? ???

ISTRING is a keyword, not a type. You are doing it correctly now. The ISTRING keyword just lets you dimension a string to something besides the stock 255 characters.
Strings are passed by reference so the length of a string as a parameter is equal to the length that is passed. In otherwords you are referencing the string that is passed to the function, not a separate copy.

Ok, that makes sence!
Thank You Paul
