ListGetPtrToItem not working as expected?

[DanielGreen]

This is a simple but a bit messy bit of code so forgive me...

I've got a list of a custom data structure and I'm trying to access those structures and write strings into them.  ints go in just fine, but when I get to strings it's not playing nice, so either it's a string management issue or an abuse of ListGetPtrToItem.  Code spam follows at the link below: 2 files.

Lines to note:

         CVIXMLGetElementTag(attribs_elem, fieldname);
         fetch(x)->fields[y].fieldname = (char *)fieldname;
         CVIXMLGetElementValue(attribs_elem, fieldvalue);
         fetch(x)->fields[y].fieldvalue = (char *)fieldvalue;

these lines are where it should be dumping in the data and it's not... this issue could be due to using char[300] and char*... will I need to futz about with malloc to get this working right?

I'll come back when I'm not retarted.... disregard.
