Missing terminating null in string argument

[LBurke]

I used CopyBytes to create a string.  When I use this string with strcpy() or strcmp(), I receive a fatal run-time error:  "Missing terminating null in string argument."  I made sure I left room for the null terminator, but it doesn't seem to make any difference.  I read an old post regarding the same issue and supposedly this error was fixed in version 3.1 but this error still occurs in version 6.0.  Any suggestions?

You may have left room for the NUL terminator but did you actually copy it to the destination string? Try adding 1 to the number of bytes that you copy with the CopyBytes() function. eg:

CopyBytes (target, 0, source, 0, strlen (source) + 1);

Alternatively use CopyString() which automatically adds the NUL for you.
