Re: Eval *string pointer variable in debugger

["Rory Hewitt" <roryhewitt@xxxxxxxxx>]

Lim,

Maybe I'm missing something, but what are you trying to do that you
*can't*do with "eval piDataRcv:c 20"? Are you just trying to see the
entire string
being pointed to? In which case you could obviously do "eval piDataRcv:c
1000" and check for the first x'00.

Are you simply trying to find a 'nicer' way of seeing the based string
without any additional data beyond the end of the string?

Rory
