Hey guys, I am trying to write a function that displays wrapped text, but it doesn't work.



I then proceed to call the function with this:


However, the function prints nothing. If I don't null the 'Line' string, it prints some garbled text.

Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Try replacing char Text[256] with char *Text.

Wow, I realized what was wrong ><

My while loop simply wasn't being run, because I was testing to see if CursorX was less than Width, rather than x + Width.

For anyone who's interested, here is my fully working wrapped text function, just input a string, the x and y coordinates, and the width of the paragraph.

You know that || means or, wouldnt you want it to be && for and?

No, because then the while statement terminates when either condition is false. That would mean that if CursorX was past the margin, the line would terminate even though it might be in the middle of a word.
