I’m wanting to get the full value of a char[] variable in the VC6 watch window, but it only shows a truncated version. I can copy the value from a debug memory window, but that contains mixed lines of hex and string values. Surely there is a better way??
For large strings, you’re pretty much stuck with the memory window – the tooltip would truncate eventually.
Fortunately, the memory window is easy to get data from – I tend to show it in 8-byte chunks so its easy to manage, find your string data and cut&paste the lot into a blank window, then use alt+drag to select columns and delete the hex values. Then start at the bottom of the string and continually page up/delete (the newline) to build your string (I use a macro for that bit).
I don’t think there’s any better way once you get long strings.
