    Array pointers to Multi-Dimensional Arrays

    How would I make an array of pointers to point to two-dimensional arrays? (either an array of ints or chars, Im not sure which one I use yet)

    Also by doing this would I be able to use a search function to search the multidimensional arrays, and would I then have the paramater, the array with the pointers to arrays?

    Thanks

    When all else fails, read the instructions.
    If you're posting code, use code tags: [code] /* insert code here */ [/code]

    If I created the typdef would all of the arrays then have to be of the same size?

    //Edit: Since my arrays will be off different sizes will it still be possible for an array of pointers to point to different arrays?

    //Edit 2:

    Is this allowable?

    typedef int myarray;

    myarray a[2][5];
    myarrya b[3][5];

    myarray *ptr[20];

    I would like to know what you are trying to accomplish. Your problem might be better solved using a binary tree or list.
