Frans,

It works. I got the result as a single string that I can now parse through and insert into an array.

Many thanks

XmStringTableParseStringArray(library call)							       XmStringTableParseStringArray(library call)

NAME
XmStringTableParseStringArray -- A convenience function that converts an array of strings to a compound string table SYNOPSIS
#include <Xm/Xm.h> XmStringTable XmStringTableParseStringArray( XtPointer *strings, Cardinal count, XmStringTag tag, XmTextType type, XmParseTable parse, Cardinal parse_count, XtPointer call_data); DESCRIPTION
XmStringTableParseStringArray takes an array of strings, allocates an XmStringTable with an equal number of slots, calls XmStringParseText on each string in strings, and inserts the resulting XmString in the corresponding slot in the XmStringTable. strings Specifies an array of strings of characters as determined by type. count Specifies the number of strings in strings. tag Specifies the tag to be used in creating the result. The type of tag created (charset or locale) depends on the type of the text and the value given. If the value specified is NULL, and type indicates that a charset tag should be created, then the tag will have the value of XmFONTLIST_DEFAULT_TAG. If type indicates a locale tag, then the tag will have the value of XmFONTLIST_DEFAULT_TAG. type Specifies the type of text to be passed in and the type of tag. If the type is either XmMULTIBYTE_TEXT or XmWIDECHAR_TEXT, a locale tag should be created. If the type is XmCHARSET_TEXT, a charset tag will be created. parse Specifies the parse table to be used. parse_count Specifies the number of entries in the parse table. call_data Specifies data to be passed to the parse procedures. RETURN
Returns a new XmStringTable. The function allocates space to hold the XmStringTable. When the application no longer needs the returned XmStringTable, the application should call XmStringFree count times (that is, one time for each returned compound string) and then call XtFree to deallocate the XmStringTable itself.
