Question: The problem was it cats to the end of the string even if it is
over the
max length. Well, your solution still allows that problem.
if (!action // nothing was entered, just a simple \r\n
&& (strlen(*d->str) // length of the current string
> d->max_str)) // is greater than the Max length
strcat(*d->str, "\r\n"); // add a \r\n to the end of it.
ok, it would ONLY add the \r\n if the total length of the string
was greater than Max length, but if you pressed ENTER continuously,
it would NEVER add the \r\n. You'd hafta constantly insert stuff.
You probably meant
// -2 to account for the appendage of \r\n
if (!action && (strlen(*d->str) < (d->max_str - 2)))
strcat(*d->str, "\r\n");
My $((1 << 1)/100) worth.
