null character in string

[commhorizons]

Is there any way to have a null character in a string that I pass to a DLL in DLL.CallFunction? E.g.,

  arg = "null character at end\0"

or

  arg = "null character at end"..String.Char(0x00);

There does not appear to be although supposedly LUA does recognize the null character.

I am using SUF 9.5.

Thanks.

The help file states that DLL.CallFunction() expects null-terminated strings. If you include a null character in the string, the action fails (the argument won't be passed properly to the DLL and will possibly cause a crash). Sadly, this action does not allow you to pass a null - if you need this, you have to build some workaround into the DLL, for example using Base64 decoding.
