typing

using VS 2003, C++ and VA 1428 i have typed in both the lines:

char *pszTest = "this. is. a. string. with. dots.";

and

char *pszTest = "this. is. a. string. with. dots.

so one with the double quotes closed, and one with them open. in both cases all of the dots were left alone. i have also tried your string, both with double quotes open and closed, and again everything was fine. which IDE and version of VA were you using? does this happen in all files? i am guessing this is somehow context sensitive, or related to what is in front of the dot.

Try this ... you need both lines 



// declare p as a pointer 

char *p = "p."; // works ok

char *p2 = "p.   // . becomes ->


once p is known to be a pointer, . always becomes ->
this is usually what's wanted, except inside quotes or comments

VA 1428 VS2003
