Get1IndString is a function that should be in the Toolbox but isn't. It is a one-deep version of GetIndString. It returns a specific string from a STR# resource, but only looks in the current (top) resource file for the resource. The Toolbox GetIndString function will search the entire resource chain, which is sometimes what you want, but sometimes not. This is source code for four functions; there are no patches of any kind involved.

Programmers interested in the mysteries of STR# resources, C and Pascal strings, and overly-clever "for" loops should have a look.

This file contains four functions:

Get1IndString: 1-deep version of the Toolbox GetIndString function

get1indstring: C-string version of Get1IndString

CountStrings: count number of strings in an STR# resource

Count1Strings: 1-deep version of CountStrings

You will need a C++ compiler to compile the code, but the functions can be called from either C or C++.
