Thread: AnsiNext

I'm trying to replace the AnsiNext function, which is obsolete, by incrementing the pointer in a Charles Petzold program.
But it keeps crashing on the pointer incrementation:

(*pText)++;

.

What could be the cause?

Code:

 

        static char  * pText = (char *) LockResource (hResource) ;
       iNumLines = 0 ;

        while (*pText != '\\' && *pText != '\0')
        {
            if (*pText == '\n')
            {
                iNumLines++;
      
            }

            //pText = AnsiNext (pText) ;
            (*pText)++;
        }
        *pText = '\0' ;

        SetScrollRange (hScroll, SB_CTL, 0, iNumLines, FALSE) ;
        SetScrollPos   (hScroll, SB_CTL, 0, FALSE) ;

        return 0 ;

Try just pText++

And there seems to be a function called CharNext which you might try.

Thanks, it's working with pText++ and CharNext too.

Thank you Sir, clear explanation, helped a lot!
