arrays

i have this array

Code:

char subcode[CODELENGTH];

say the value JJ123

i also have

Code:

char subjectcode[MAXSUBJECTS][CODELENGTH];

i have this for loop and it doesnt work

Code:

inFile>>subcode;
cout<< "Subject Code" << subcode;
for(int p=0;p<CODELENGTH;p++)
{
subjectcode[MAXSUBJECTS][0+p] = *subcode; 
cout << subjectcode[0][CODELENGTH];
}

can some1 help me please

also if i enter it all in a 2d array.. is it possible to search it.. and retrieve the first line..

that is.. supose the array ends up being

J1234
J2314
J1235

if some1 types J1234 will i be able to search it and retrieve ...

thankyou

Can you post some code, your question is a little unclear.

array2 is defined as char, not char *.

array2[0][1 + i] = array[0];

i have add more code aboe

thankx

Code:

//obtain subcode from file
inFile>>subcode;
//verify subcode read in correctly
cout<< "Subject Code" << subcode;

//now read in subcode to subjectcode, one char at a time
for(int r = 0; r < MAXSUBJECTS; r++)//determines which subcode in subjectcode will be the target for storage
{
  //loop to read in one char at a time from file data to subjectcode.
  for(int p=0;p<CODELENGTH;p++)
  {
     subjectcode[r][p] = subcode[p]; 
  }

     //null terminate current subjectcode after all pertinent char
     // have been copied to it
      subjectcode[r][p] = '\0';

     //then prove you copied it correctly
     cout << subjectcode[r];
}

to determine if a given subcode already exists in subjectcode use a loop to compare each subcode already in subjectcode to the desired subcode using strcmp().
