Filling struct with data...

Hi,

This is my struct and it's enum

Code:

---

enum Length
{
        EventType = 2,
        LogNumber = 1,
        EventSequence = 4,
        VarianceCode = 3,
        ExactAirTime = 8,
        ScheduledTime = 8,
        ScheduledTimeMode = 1,
        EventDuration = 8,
        VideoSource = 12,
        VideoEffects = 10,
        AudioSource = 12,
        AudioEffects = 10,
        HouseNumber = 20,
        TimeCodeIn = 8,
        TimeCodeOut = 8,
        FCCSource = 1,
        Description = 30,
        FacilityDescription = 30,
        FCCType = 10,
        SecondarySource = 1,
        RecordType = 1,
        Offset = 5,
        NewShowFlag = 1,
        SegmentNumber = 2,
        Unused = 6
};

struct playlistContents
{
        int EventType;
        int LogNumber;
        int EventSequence;
        char VarianceCode[VarianceCode]; // Not Used
        char ExactAirTime[ExactAirTime];
        char ScheduledTime[ScheduledTime];
        char ScheduledTimeMode; // Only 1 byte, either T or White Space
        char EventDuration[EventDuration];
        char VideoSource[VideoSource];
        char VideoEffects[VideoEffects]; // Not Populated (possibly used though)
        char AudioSource[AudioSource];
        char AudioEffects[AudioEffects]; // Same as Video Effects
        char HouseNumber[HouseNumber];
        char TimeCodeIn[TimeCodeIn];
        char TimeCodeOut[TimeCodeOut];
        char FCCSource; //Only 1 bytes Not too sure whats in it, it's either WhiteSpace, or something else.
        char Description[Description]; //Title
        char FacilityDescription[FacilityDescription];
        char FCCType[FCCType];
        char SecondarySource; // Either Y or WhiteSpace
        char RecordType; //I = Interstitial, P = Programme, S = Commercial.
        char Offset[Offset]; //White space in the file. (Not Populated)
        char NewShow; //Flag for a New show. If Repeat = No then Flag = Y else Blank.
        char SegmentNumber[SegmentNumber]; //Part Number
        char Unused[Unused]; // As name states.
};

When i try to fill that struct with data, it comes out totally wrong in the compiler.

Code:

---

                playlistContents *pc = new playlistContents;
        ZeroMemory(pc, sizeof(playlistContents));

        strcpy(pc->VarianceCode, "123");
        strcpy(pc->ExactAirTime, "12345678");
        strcpy(pc->ScheduledTime, "12345678");
 
        //Breakpoint here to check variables.
                delete pc;

---

when i check to see what the variables contain, it comes out like this! (Check attachment)

I'm not sure if i'm doing anything wrong...and im looking for any help please!

Thanks!

Dean.

Using Vs 2005...i'll try it with 2003, to see if there are any differences.

And that is all the code i'm using towards that struct.

Please don't name your enums the same as your character arrays. Change this and try again

Code:

---

        char VarianceCodeData[ VarianceCode + 1]; // Not Used
        char ExactAirTimeData[ ExactAirTime + 1];
        char ScheduledTimeData [ScheduledTime +1  ];

---

You are missing the room for the terminating NULL byte.

And now it's fixed..

Top man!

Cheers Paul.
