hi


i think u want to store sizeof(action) bytes from the stream to the structure. donno C used in micros , but generally u can do so by a cast operator.


unsigned char *p;

p =(unsigned char *) &action;

for(i=0;i<sizeof(action);i++)
{
*(p+i) = read(stream);
}


now u can use the action like


action.member_of_action
