41.24. $msStrInPlace

$msStrInPlace is useful for converting a NUL-terminated C string to a MAINSAIL STRING.

If c is NULLCHARADR, $msStrInPlace returns the empty STRING. Otherwise, a STRING descriptor is formed for the characters starting at c. The STRING is terminated by a NUL character (not included in the result), or after:

(IF maxChars > 0 THEN maxChars EL $maxStringLength)

characters, whichever occurs first. The returned STRING descriptor references the characters at c.
