FM Plugin Dev - Converting String Types

[Matthew R. Albert]

How do u get a regular text string (char[256] or bstring) from the dataVect type?

[Adam Dempsey]

Here's some code I use. I'm fairly new to C++ and FilMaker plugins, so it's prob not the best way, but it works. sText will contain the text from the dataVect.

char *sText=(char*)GlobalAlloc(GPTR, 255);

const fmx::Text&        

param1 = dataVect.AtAsText(0);

param1.GetBytes((char*)sText,255);
