« on: December 03, 2022, 04:22:19 AM »
Check out the BYTE_AT macro which is used for referencing, by pointer, a location in a string element of an array of strings. Details here

The BYTE_AT macro has now been added to the BCX Documentation index, after having been overlooked when it was introduced in BCX 7.9.1.

Thanks Robert.  BYTE_AT is an important and useful macro to be aware of.

For readers who may not have noticed it at the time, BYTE_AT was announced in BCX 7.9.1 and
is an outgrowth of my sigil handling improvements. In fact,  BYTE_AT is used by the BCX translator
starting with that version and has done its job quite well.  Here is my July 11, 2022 announcement:
