    Troubles with char and structs

    hi, I could do with some assistance with the following
    a .h class file.
    Code:
    struct aStruct
    {
    	char X[20], Z[20];
    };
    
    class Example
    {
    	aStruct aStruct[5]; 
    public:
            void AddaStruct(char X[20], char Z[20]);
    };
    
    void Example::AddaStruct(char X[20]. char Z[20])
    {
            aStruct[1].X[20] = X[20];
    	aStruct[1].Z[20] = Z[20];
    }
    then I have the following .cpp minus the header files.

    Code:
    int main(void)
    {
    	Example Example;
            char X[20] = "Test";
    	char Z[20] = "Test 1";
    	Example.AddaStruct(X, Y);
    //then a get comand that shows aStruct[1]'s X and z to screen
    }
    this doesn't show the "Test" which I put in.
    any ideas as to what I done wrong or a better method?
    thanks.

    thanks for the quick reply, but that seems to have had no effect, I still have the same output

    Code:
    struct aStruct
    {
    	char X[20], Z[20];
    };
    
    class Example
    {
    	aStruct aStruct[5]; 
    public:
            void AddaStruct(char X[20], char Z[20]);
    	char GetX();
    	char GetY();
    
    };
    
    void Example::AddaStruct(char X[20]. char Z[20])
    {
            aStruct[1].X[20] = X[20];
    	aStruct[1].Z[20] = Z[20];
    }
    
    char Tape::GetX()
    {
    	return aStruct[1].X[20];
    }
    
    char Tape::GetY()
    {
    	return aStruct[1].Y[20];
    }
    Code:
    int main(void)
    {
    	Example Example;
            char X[20] = "Test";
    	char Z[20] = "Test 1";
    	Example.AddaStruct(X, Y);
            cout << "X is : " << Tape.getX() << "Y is : " << Tape.getY();
    
    	
    }
    That any better?
