set a string

[Dr J.C. Ison]

Hi Carole

Many ways to crack an egg, but

AjPStr variable2=NULL;

variable2=ajStrNew(); /*call constructor function at the start */
ajStrAssC(&variable2, "AAA");
ajStrDel(&variable2); /*call destructor function once your're done*/

would do nicely.

Why not enrol on the emboss programming course
for next year:

Cheers
