My input routine requires that the programmer pass (as a parameter) the

maximum length of the string :



int Get_Input(char *, int, Idle_Ptr = Idle, int = 0, char * = "\x00");

                      ~~~

        /* hi-tech input function :)

                parameters are : 1 - string-input variable

                                 2 - maximum length

                                 3 - pointer to idle function

                                 4 - echo characters on/off

                                 5 - characters to exclude

                returns : 1 - if input aborted

                          0 - if input finished normally

        */



after they have declared the variable with a certain length (e.g. like this :



char String[100] = "";



I tried to automatically determine the maximum string length by using :



int Max_Length = sizeof(String) / sizeof(char);



because it is an array of char.  What am I doing wrong?
