    Angry My Code won't exit

    This function only runs during a hardware interrupt generated by the UART.
    I use the Borland 'interrupt' function. The interrupt function then calls this 'sub function'...
    The function does it's operations correctly, but during this it won't exit my do-while loop -triggered by the Done flag. And i'm surtain that the string has reached it's size.

    If you need to see my interrupt function -i'll show you, but it's in this piece something goes wrong ;(


    void RunTest(void)
    {
    int y=2;
    unsigned char Done=0;
    DrawMenu();
    textbackground(CYAN);
    textcolor(BLUE);
    DrawBox(1,1,15,10);

    clrscr();
    printf("Tester...\n");
    printf("Debug lines only\n");
    do
    {
    if(serial.m_Bufferin !=serial.m_Bufferout)
    {
    serial.m_Buffer[serial.m_Bufferout]&=0x7f;
    serial.m_NewCharReceived=serial.m_Buffer[serial.m_Bufferout];
    serial.m_NewBarCode[serial.m_Index++]=serial.m_NewCharReceived;
    serial.m_Bufferout++;

    //printf("%c ->%d \n",serial.m_NewCharReceived,serial.m_Index);

    if(strlen(serial.m_NewBarCode)==11)
    {
    cputs(serial.m_NewBarCode);
    gotoxy(1,y++);
    dat.m_pCodes[dat.m_Count++]=strdup(serial.m_NewBarCode);
    serial.m_Index=0;

    Done=1;
    }
    }
    }while(!Done);

    }

    Hmm, what is m_NewBarCode? A static array or a pointer? If it's a pointer, you must place a \0 (NULL terminating character) at the end of the string so strlen can calculate the length properly. And remember to allocate memory for it .

    serial.m_NewBarCode[serial.m_Index++]=serial.m_NewCharReceived;

    if(strlen(serial.m_NewBarCode)==11)
