Reading Raw Adv Packet

Question

Hello, 
 
 How can i put out the received Adv Data on the UART? Currently I get for every advertise packet the BLE_GAP_EVT_ADV_REPORT in my ble_stack_handler. Then i wanted to print out the data on my VirtualPort with printf((char*)p_gap_evt->params.adv_report.data.p_data). But i get nothing useful. How can i print out the raw 31 Byte received advertising packet? Do i need a for-loop to print out every byte? 
 
 PS: Using nRF52840 DK

But arrays & pointers are almost the same thing in 'C' 
 http://c-faq.com/aryptr/ 
 The index operator [] can be applied to a pointer: 
 uint8_t* my_pointer;

my_pointer = &some_data; // set the pointer to point to something

printf( "1st byte (offset 0) is %d", my_pointer[0] );
printf( "2nd byte (offset 1) is %d", my_pointer[1] );
printf( "3rd byte (offset 2) is %d", my_pointer[2] );
 :
 :
printf( "nth byte (offset n-1) is %d", my_pointer[n-1] );
 
 
 which is equivalent to: 
 uint8_t* my_pointer;

my_pointer = &some_data; // set the pointer to point to something

printf( "1st byte (offset 0) is %d", *my_pointer );
printf( "2nd byte (offset 1) is %d", *my_pointer+1 );
printf( "3rd byte (offset 2) is %d", *my_pointer+2 );
 :
 :
printf( "nth byte (offset n-1) is %d", *my_pointer+(n-1) );
 
 
 Or: 
 uint8_t* my_pointer;

my_pointer = &some_data; // set the pointer to point to something

printf( "1st byte (offset 0) is %d", *my_pointer++ );
printf( "2nd byte (offset 1) is %d", *my_pointer++ );
printf( "3rd byte (offset 2) is %d", *my_pointer++ );

 Again, this is all standard 'C' - nothing specific to Nordic.
