Hello again !

My problems with file handling are all solved - thanks a lot, but as I continue working on my program I get another error message. I wrote an extract from my program, which causes the error : program test;

type tstr = string[30];

var s_test : tstr;

function copy (s : tstr; p1 : integer; p2 : integer ) : tstr; var i : integer; buf : tstr; begin for i:=p1 to p2 do buf[i]:=s[i]; copy:=buf; end; begin s_test:='Dies ist ein Test-string'; writeln(copy(s_test,5,4)); end.

I just wanted to implement the string-function "copy" from Borland Pascal to use it on my Linux-System. The error messages I get is :

chris@bockermann:/home/chris/programs/pascal/indent > a.out Segmentation fault

Does anybody know this problem ? (By the way, if you have suggestions for a better style of programming this copy-function, please let me know, I'm already learning ... :-)

Thanks, Chris
