from ANSI_STRING to PAnsichar

[mohfa]

Thank you himitsu . i think i'm confused here :

What i wanted is :

i use the ANSI_STRING in a C project declared as follows :

Code:

typedef struct _SCANNER_REPLY {

       BOOLEAN SafeToOpen;
       ANSI_STRING FileName;
} SCANNER_REPLY, *PSCANNER_REPLY;

Only to print out the Current FileName exmp : c:\mytextfile.txt

so the result in c :

Code:

NTSTATUS status; 
SCANNER_REPLY replyMessage; 
status = RtlUnicodeStringToAnsiString(&replyMessage.FileName, &FileI->Name, TRUE);
    
   if (NT_SUCCESS( status )) {
        DbgPrint("Current File: %s\n", replyMessage.FileName.Buffer);
/*
 this will Print Out the Current FileName ** Current File: \Device\HarddiskVolume1\myfile.txt **
*/
        RtlFreeAnsiString(&replyMessage.FileName);
      }

and in Delphi i declared as follows :

Delphi-Quellcode:

_SCANNER_REPLY = record
SafeToOpen: BOOLEAN;
FileName:ANSI_STRING ; // ANSI_STRING is declared as in my 1st thread
end;
SCANNER_REPLY = _SCANNER_REPLY; 
PSCANNER_REPLY = ^_SCANNER_REPLY;

But when i used your methode in your last reply P will print out the Whole FileName content Buffer , But i only need to print out the filename as in C result

any suggestion for that ?
