Weird error using string tables

[George Bleck]

I have a weird error, when I get a string table entry it works fine.
When I try to something like this...

MSGBOX GetStringTable(%someid) & "some other data"

It only shows the string table entry, not the concatenated string.
Anyone ever see this before?

'The GetStringTable function I use...
FUNCTION GetStringTable( lngStringID AS LONG ) AS STRING
	LOCAL strBuffer AS STRING
	strBuffer = STRING$( 1024, 0 )
	LoadString ghInst, lngStringID, BYVAL STRPTR( strBuffer ), LEN( strBuffer )
	FUNCTION = strBuffer
END FUNCTION

George,

I just had a glance over your code and it looks like you have a null character returned from the string table (chr$(0))

Null characters will 'cut off' strings when used in windows (ie. MsgBox)

- Try adding "Remove$(var, chr$(0))" etc.

HTH
