[slang-users] USIng the LIST inside of C ...

[Ben Duncan]

I have been pondering this. IS the stack just limited to 2500, or is
that the largest bytes any single item can be?

What I need to do is something that has no preset size initially. An
array would work.
In pseudo code something like this ( actual program would be in C ):

static void Myfunction ()
{
while <NOT AT END>
    get next string-item.
    push string-item onto array

return array to interprator.
}


.... S-Lang code:

variable MyArray = MyFunction(file, attribute) ; .... and so on ..

Thanks ..
