[comp.os.msdos.programmer] Turbo Pascal to Turbo C

a516@mindlink.UUCP (Jordan Melville) (09/22/90)

What is the best way to get a data file created with Turbo Pascal into C? The
problem is that before a data field in Turbo Pascal they have a length
specifyer, and that strings are not null terminated. There must be a realtively
easy way to do it, but as of yet I'm unsure what the best way to would be.

Why not writing a couple of string conversion functions, strP2C and strC2P,
which will translate (and perhaps truncate strings).
