CLEO Help Allocating Memory

[KamikazeSripterul]

I want to make an input dialog (style 1) in which a command will be typed. How much memory do i need to allocate in order to store that command in a .ini file?

Every character in a string is 1 byte so you can do the string length. Most people do 255 bytes as default anyway don't think it matters unless you're wasting thousands of bytes.

0C17: 1@ = strlen 0@ // gives length of string 0@
// requires alloc however

But you know without allocation you can't get strings which mean you can't use strlen

Ok well scrap that then. Could always allocate 255 and then strlen and then further adjust to save memory.
And there's this for strlen.
