The following code opens up an "Open Dialog" window and the user selects a file then the filename gets inserted into a text box. Though there is a problem.... the filename's have ununsual characters.. EG.. ('text.txt' will be 'text.txt™pw

™')...

Can anyone see any fault in the follwing code:

</font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Geneva, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif">code:</font><hr /><pre style="font-size:x-small; font-family: monospace;">void Open_Dialog()
{
int count=1;

AEDesc defaultLocation;
NavReplyRecord reply;
NavDialogOptions dialogOptions;

NavGetDefaultDialogOptions ( &amp;dialogOptions );
NavGetFile ( &amp;defaultLocation, &amp;reply, &amp;dialogOptions, nil, nil, nil, NULL, nil );

while( count == 1 )
{
AEKeyword theKeyword;
DescType actualType;
Size actualSize;
FSSpec documentFSSpec;

AEGetNthPtr(&amp;(reply.selection), 1, typeFSS, &amp;theKeyword, &amp;actualType, &amp;documentFSSpec, sizeof(documentFSSpec), &amp;actualSize);

Display_Filename( documentFSSpec.name );

count++;
}
}

void Display_Filename( StrFileName Filename )
{
CFStringRef Output;

ControlRef Text1;
ControlID Text1ID;

Text1ID.signature = 'Matt';
Text1ID.id = 131;

GetControlByID( Window, &amp;Text1ID, &amp;Text1 );

Output = CFStringCreateWithFormat(NULL, NULL, CFSTR(&quot;%s&quot, Filename);

SetControlData( Text1, 0, kControlEditTextCFStringTag, sizeof(CFStringRef), &amp;Output );

DrawOneControl( Text1 );
}</pre><hr /></blockquote><font size="1" face="Geneva, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif">

At a guess, you're mixing pascal strings (first byte is length, followed by length number of characters) with c strings (NULL-terminated array of characters).
