technically this code is supposed to get the analysis results from a selected element in CSI SAP2000. However, I am having an issue with creating an array for the values. Problematic block is bold.

I tried using Obj = (c_char_p * NumResults)() instead, but nothing. Can not convert the c_string_buffer(32) into an integer anyway.
