C programming help ....

[Ben Duncan]

Ok, i have a question for the MORE advanced C programmers.

I want to loop thru a string of characters that may contain some
"high values", i.e. 0xFF and possible use the & function to test that.

Lets say "^" represents the HIGH value mark and the string looks like this:

ABCDEFG^THIS IS A LONG STRING OF DATA^MORE DATA HERE^1234567890^EOF STRING^\0"

I want to be able to do something like this:

int idx ;
char MyString [256] ; /* See above string */

for ( idx = 0 ; idx < strlen (MyString) ; idx++
     {
         if ( Mystring[idx} & 0xFF )
            printf ("High value found at: %i ", idx)
      }


Is this the correct way to do this ?

Thanks ...
