is it possible to reverse a string with strrev when the string is longer than 1000 characters?
please note that i only want to use strrev() and no loops or anything else!

Hrm, I don't know. But why don't you take any random 1000 character string, and test it. Thats the easiest way to find out. :)
maybe i have not explained it right :
what i wanna do is to revrse all the words in a file but i have figured out that if the word
is longer than 1000 characters the progie will crash ,i wanna know if there is a way to solve this problemo?

firstly, i have never used strrev().
the cause of this problem might be due to how you are reading in the file. set up a function or something to read in the file. or more specifically, each word in the file into a string or character array that holds a maximum of 1000 characters, and if it exceeds this, store it somewhere temp, and continue reading in the word. reverse them individually and stick them back together, send to a stream. you will probably have to use loops somewhere in for this to work. why can you not use loops in this program?
Can't you just read the length of the string and do it in sections that are reversible. it could be done w/o loops, although using them would be easier. I'm don't know c/c++ commands, but here's what I'm thinking
- Get the length of the string
myStringLen = Len(mylongstring)
- Set your "section" size... something that won't freeze (ie 500)
mySectionSize = 500
- Get a section to reverse
LocationInString=myStringLen
If LocationInString > 500 Then
myNewString = myNewString + mid(string,LocationInString-MySectionSize+1,LocationInString)
LocationInString = LocationInString-MySectionSize
Else
myNewString = myNewString + mid(string,1,LocationInString)
End if
'''''' (again, don't know the actual commands, just showing what I'm thinking)
'''''' If the string length is 1250, this should pull from 751-1250 and strore it in myNewString
Repeat the same code as many times as you might theoretically need (this is where a loop would be better)
If LocationInString > 500 Then
myNewString = myNewString + mid(string,LocationInString-MySectionSize+1,LocationInString)
LocationInString = LocationInString-MySectionSize
Else
myNewString = myNewString + mid(string,1,LocationInString)
End if
Don't know if that makes sense or if it's flawed thinking. Been a while since I've been in the trenches :-)
oops, forgot the strrev()....
myNewString = myNewString + mid(string,1,LocationInString)
should be
myNewString = myNewString + strrev(mid(string,1,LocationInString))

I would probably use an array - have you tried that with strrev? Also, why don't you want to use a loop?
Just found this - it uses a char array. I don't know if it will work with a string of 1000 chars, though.
