You did point me in the right direction. While your example didn't work, it did help me on getting it to work.

I have attached my example of a function for getting part of a string. It now works in windows vista.

I am thinking of writing a book on U++ for other, to be published in America. Which I sure would help U++ to get more noticed by others. Not sure what all it takes from U++ to do this I.E. permission to do this, or if anyone would like to help on it.

I am new to C++, and use windows for GUI. I do know some unix but command code only.

I come from a background of programming in VB 6, and mostly web back ground. But VB 6, will not do what I need done for a program, and I am not sure what if Microsoft programming will do what need.

Ok, I've tried your example, and congratulations, you have a working, cross-platform U++ example Cool

(I've tested it on Kubuntu 11.04/Linux).

I'm sure that people will be eager to help you writing a book on U++, since it is a very effective, and sadly, underrated, rad tool. And the U++ community is very friendly. IMO,the weakest part of U++ is its documentation, so you should familiarize yourself with the provided examples. They will also give you some hints and tips and let you understand U++ way of coding.
