Syntax
C++

dtsStringHandle hStr

char * buf
Buffer to receive the text

Length of the string

Get the text of a string represented by a dtsStringHandle

Use dtssStringGetLength() to get the length of the string, to make sure the buffer is large enough. 

dtsStringHandles are used to return variable-length string values from certain dtSearch Engine API functions. After retrieving the text of the string, the caller must use dtssStringDelete to free the memory that was allocated for the string.
