If it had to be released from within the function, why does it come into the function as a const parameter? Isn't this strikingly flashy, yelling "Hey look! I'm the silliest!"?

To free up the strings is correct and necessary, BUT NOT in a subroutine. Make it after the sub routine call. D'Oh! | :doh:

What about changing BSTR to _bstr_t ?
Defined in comutil.h

The MSDN link says that,

A _bstr_t object encapsulates the BSTR data type. The class manages resource allocation and deallocation through function calls to SysAllocString and SysFreeString and other BSTR APIs when appropriate. The _bstr_t class uses reference counting to avoid excessive overhead.

--++++++---

Use the += operator of _bstr_t to append characters to the end.

if value is also declared as a type of _bstr_t then code can be re-written as,

value += strComma;
value += strNewLine;

Furthur to Superman's answer, use NetLocalGroupEnum[^] and NetLocalGroupGetMembers[^] to retrieve a list of the members of a particular local group in a local machine/system.

What variable type is "URGENT PLEASE"?

Maybe this works:

void Creating ISO9660 Image File(int URGENT PLEASE);
.

.
void Creating ISO9660 Image File(int URGENT PLEASE)

  return;

I think many (ab)users of this forum would benefit from the following piece of code:

char *answerForumQuestion(char *requestString, bool isUrgent)
{
  // provide negative feedback for requests marked as urgent
  if (isUrgent)
    if (rand() % 2)
       return NULL;
    else return ptrToRequestStringErrorMessage;

  // decide whether to try or not
  if (isClear(requestString) && showEffort(requestString))
  {
        // provide an answer where possible
        if forumReaderUnderstands(requestString)
           return formulateAnswer(requestString);
  }

  // for all other cases do nothing
  return NULL;
}

During execution of this post, rand() returned 10......

Your code to read string may have a bug! That may be stop reading on each SPACE character.

You can use strlen to find the length of the complete string.

In MFC the string manipulations are done with CString class.

Use Ctrl+Left/Right to switch messages, Ctrl+Up/Down to switch threads, Ctrl+Shift+Left/Right to switch pages.
