working with STRPTR

Hi All,

I wanted to share a little bit of knowledge I figured out. I could be silly for even posting this but I've been playing around with C, creating several projects for fun. When working with strings I had been using:

STRPTR = "Insert Text here";

But this will throw a compiler error:

app.c:###: warning: initialization discards qualifiers from pointer target type

What I learned is the right way to do this is to use

CONST_STRPTR = "Insert Text here";

If your a newbie like me this might help if you need to create any string constances in your projects.

Cheers,
Bill "tekmage" Borsari

And - as always - it helps to have no typos in your code! (Spotted, anyone?) :-) Nevertheless I'm a C newbie as well, so any tips like this are very helpful and welcome! Thanks!

Nice.
Don't we usually add a name when declaring variables/constants?

CONST_STRPTR mytext = "Insert Text here";

Otherwise it's hard to make references to it later.

Merry Christmas
