Hi Chuck, you're right, that pointer is for an array of F_TextItemT,
*not* an array of pointers to F_TextItemT.

The c code looks like this:

tis = F_ApiGetText(docId, flowId, FTI_String | FTI_LineEnd);
/* Traverse text items and print strings and line ends. */
for (i=0; i<tis.len; i++)
{
ip = &tis.val[i];
if (ip->dataType == FTI_String)
F_Printf(NULL,"%s", ip->u.sdata);
else F_Printf(NULL,"\n");
}

So I guess I need the equivalent of "get_array_of_struct"?  I can't
find an example for this case (array of struct) on the wiki.  Any
ideas?

Thanks,
