RE: Not a bug - but I need some help...

Hi,

Should the format line below be;

wprintw("%.*s", n, s)

I'm currently dealing with a similar issue.

Thanks,
jonw

 * PREC

   an optional field; if present, it is introduced with ``.'' (a
   period). This field gives the maximum number of characters to
   print in a conversion; the minimum number of digits of an integer
   to print, for conversions with TYPE `d', `i', `o', `u', `x', and
   `X'; the maximum number of significant digits, for the `g' and `G'
   conversions; or the number of digits to print after the decimal
   point, for `e', `E', and `f' conversions.  You can specify the
   precision either directly as a decimal integer or indirectly by
   using an asterisk (`*'), in which case an `int' argument is used
   as the precision.  Supplying a negative precision is equivalent to
   omitting the precision.  If only a period is specified the
   precision is zero.  If a precision appears with any other
   conversion TYPE than those listed here, the behavior is undefined.
