Eric you must be a little more specific, what's "the receiving function"?
And I think your string is Bill\0Clinton\0 because spaces NEVER end strings.
Additionally you must know that in C doesn't mather if you declare "mystring" 
as a 50 or 10000000 elements array, the string will ever end in the first \0.
Please try to explain your problem better and if possible provide a little 
example.
