[SOLVED] How to get Text from a text pointer

[avatar]

I refer to the manual about the pointer, my codes below cannot retrieve the text.
Please help

Example:
Text$ = "Hello"
*Text = @Text$ ; *Text store the address of the string in memory
*Pointer.String = @*Text ; *Pointer points on *Text
Debug *Pointer\s ; Display the string living at the address stored in *Pointer (i.e. @Text$)

Code: Select all

Procedure.s getText(*textAddress)
  ProcedureReturn *textAddress\s ; <----------------- ERROR
EndProcedure
text.s = "testing text"
Debug getText(@text)

Code: Select all

Procedure.s getText(address)
  Protected *textAddress.STRING = @address
  ProcedureReturn *textAddress\s ; <----------------- ERROR
EndProcedure
text.s = "testing text"
Debug getText(@text)
