What i meant, i wanted to warn Dimitris that
char[100]��
are just array of 100 characters (bytes in C).. and has nothing to do with strings.
Do not confuse fixed-length C arrays with strings. There's no 'string' data type in C, and instead they use null-terminated character sequence as a convention. But it is not a fixed-size data.

(always with Char100 example in mind):

string := s data readString.

should work.

IIRC, #readString works correctly only ��for correctly null-terminated strings. If not, it will read beyond the structure size , until it find a zero byte somewhere in memory,
and thus, results may vary :)
