The < code > formatting is awesome! Thanks.


Any recommendations?

Where's your declaration and implementation for processCstring()?

Very likely your declaration and implementation signatures do not agree.

PLEASE USE CODE TAGS (the <> formatting button) when posting code.
It makes it easier to read your code and also easier to respond to your post.

Hint: You can edit your post, highlight your code and press the <> formatting button.
