Storing multiple string in array

winsonlee · 03-15-2004, 06:54 AM

How can i store two string into an array ? I know the following code doesnt work. How can i modify the code so that it is able to store both the string in array form.

Code:

arrayx[0] = "abc";
arrayx[1] = "def";

Assuming your array was declared as

Code:

char arrayx[2][string_size];

Or

Code:

char *arrayx[2];

Where each element is dynamically allocated the proper amount of space:

Code:

strcpy ( arrayx[0], "abc" );
strcpy ( arrayx[1], "def" );

Don't forget to include string.h.

Or:

Code:

char* arrayx[] =
{
  "abc",
  "def",
  "ghijkl"
};
