Hmmm, should have been - those precedence rules have been around from the early days of C (certainly as long as ?: has existed). GCC would have been broken before if you were able to get your original statement working. As someone else pointed out, it's probably cleaner to replace the above with: b[x] = isprint(a[x]) ? a[x] : '.'; which is how ?: is 'normally' used. -- Steve Wampler -- swampler@xxxxxxxx The gods that smiled on your birth are now laughing out loud.
