Re: C vs perl

Says broquaint:

      /* ok, this could be done better but it's only a string ;-) */
      ret  = (char*) malloc(strlen(str) + strlen(str));

String or not, it's clear that if you were going to do that, you should have done this instead:

  ret = (char*) malloc(strlen(str) * 2);

Also, your function does not work. (I think you forgot to test it before you posted.) You need to have

    pret += 7;

in the if block.

I'd walked away from the computer and was going about my rainy afternoon before a little light-bulb appeared over my head and I ran back to add the offending line in hope that no one would notice. But the *second* I saw you in Other Users I knew it was coming ;-)

A lesson learned for the day - think before posting kids.
