int32 LToPStr(lstrp, pstr);

Purpose

Converts a LabVIEW string to a Pascal string. If the LabVIEW string is more than 255 characters, this function converts only the first 255 characters. The function works even if the pointers lstrp and pstr refer to the same memory location. The function assumes pstr is large enough to contain lstrp.

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
lstrp	LStrPtr	Pointer to a LabVIEW string.
pstr	PStr	Pointer to a Pascal string.

Return Value

The length of the string, truncated to a maximum of 255 characters.
