How do you retrieve text form a TextLine object

For example (assuming that there is text in the TextLine and the text line is limited to a size of 24 (to fit in the char array) how would I import the text from the TextLine to the char array 'text')

Code:

TextLine txtBox;

txtBox=random_objs.getTextLine("txtLineName");

char text[24];

Thanks

Use parenthesis to access the text:

Code:

txtBox();

txtBox(); gives you a String (16 bit, so 2 chars for each character)

Look at string.h to cast it to a CChar*, or convert to Str8 if you want an 8 bit string and continue from there.
