How do I print out a two dimensional array of strings?

okay I have a two dimensional array of strings. Each row of the string is a variable length word, each terminated by a null statement. I am able to print out the first row of the string, but can't get the rest of them to print.

this is how i'm getting it to print the first row:

Code:

---

        printf("%s", newarray);

---

I know why it's only printing the top row (because it's reaching a null statement) so I guess what i'm asking is if theres a way to access the next row of the array while printing it.

%s tells printf to print a string, not an array, so what you get is undefined behavior.
So if it is an array, there must be multiple strings, right?
Then you must logically tell it to print each one separately. That's YOUR job - you must call printf to print every string in the array.

The way my book defined a string was a series of characters each being held in a space of the array with a null statement at the end of it.

im going to try it your way now as well, would I use %c as a conversion specifier when printing out elements of a character array?

%c is used to print a single character, not a string. Your book is correct; a series of characters (an array) is defined as a string. So in that sense, a 2D-array of characters is an array of strings.
Printf wasn't designed to print an array of strings, so you have to feed it with individual strings. Strings are printed with %s.

In C, a string is a sequence of characters ended by a null character. What you are describing isn't a two dimensional array of strings, but a two dimensional array of characters, or said otherwise, a one dimensional array of strings.

Code:

---

#include <stdio.h>
#define MAX_STRING_LENGTH 20

void printArrayOfStrings(const char (*array)[MAX_STRING_LENGTH + 1], size_t n)
{
  size_t i = 0;
  for (; i < n; ++i)
  {
      puts(array[i]);
  }
}

int main()
{
  char arrayOfStrings[][MAX_STRING_LENGTH + 1] = { "Hello", "World", "Bananas"};

  printArrayOfStrings(arrayOfStrings, sizeof(arrayOfStrings) / sizeof(*arrayOfStrings));
}

ok I got this working, I did it by using two for loops and accessing each element of the array , one by one. count is the number of words in total

Code:

---

        for (counter1 = 0; counter1 != count; counter1++)
        {
                printf("\n");
                for(counter2 = 0; newarray[counter1][counter2] != '\0'; counter2++)
                {
                        printf("%c", newarray[counter1][counter2]);
                }
        }

---

You don't need the inner loop - that is handled by printf if you print a string.

Code:

---

        for (i = 0; i != count; i++)
        {
                printf("%s\n", newarray[i]);
        }
