I tried using that method, I also tried checking with 'if(strlen(buf) +
strlen(mob->player.long_desc) >= MAX_STRING_LENGTH)' and it still Seg
Faults...
I can't figure out what the heck's wrong with it...
How can I keep the buffer from overflowing? How can I clear the buffer when
I'm done with it?

**********Orig Message***********
Try inserting the lines into your code I marked below with --->
I have had similar problems when I used the buf and buf1 arrays, especially
when putting them in a loop. Since you are not storing it all and paging it
to the character this might help.

Your code plus my 3 additions noted below....
-------Here's the Code for the command-------
ACMD(do_vshow){
struct char_data *mob;
struct obj_data *obj;
int zone_number;
int xvnum;
mob_rnum xrnum;
char buf[MAX_STRING_LENGTH];
char buf1[MAX_STRING_LENGTH];
one_argument(argument, arg);
---> *buf = '\0';
if(!*arg)
{
sprintf(buf, "You need to specify a zone.\r\n");
send_to_char(buf, ch);
}
else if(isdigit(*arg) && (atoi(arg) > 0))
{
zone_number = atoi(arg);
switch(subcmd)
{
case SCMD_VSHOW_MOB:
sprintf(buf, "-----Mobile Information for Zone #%3d-----\r\n",
zone_number);
send_to_char(buf, ch);
for(xvnum = 0; xvnum <= 99; xvnum+=1)
{
xrnum = real_mobile((zone_number * 100) + xvnum);
if(xrnum < 0)
{ continue; }
else {
---> *buf = '\0';
mob = read_mobile(xrnum, REAL);
sprintf(buf, "[%d] - %s", (zone_number * 100) + xvnum,
mob->player.long_descr);
send_to_char(buf, ch);
}
}
break;
case SCMD_VSHOW_OBJ:
sprintf(buf, "-----Object Information for Zone #%3d-----\r\n",
zone_number);
send_to_char(buf, ch);
for(xvnum = 0; xvnum <= 99; xvnum++)
{
xrnum = real_object((zone_number * 100) + xvnum);
if(xrnum < 0)
{ continue; }
else {
---> *buf = '\0';
obj = read_object(xrnum, REAL);
sprintf(buf, "[%d] - %s\n", (zone_number * 100) + xvnum,
obj->description);
send_to_char(buf, ch);
}
}
break;
default:
break;
}
}
}
