The big reason it doesn't work is the total lack of compiler support for strings.



I know we can't... but we should be able...

No worries... helping is one of the best ways to learn!

In the case that all you are doing is reassigning pointers, yes something like that could be made to work. But you do have to be aware that a process such as that is loaded with pitfalls that may...

... or assign strings from user input or write the struct to disk.

Seriously... you don't think he's going to stay with his little test program do you?
At some point he's going to want to...

Dynamic allocation of the structs --probably in a linked list-- is a fairly good way to handle this.

However; dynamic allocation inside the structs is going to be frought with problems and...

And this is helpful, exactly how?

Yep... you're missing 2 things...

1) sizeof(passedex) does not return the size of the array, it returns the size of the *pointer* you passed into the function. You just got lucky because the...
