Thread: How to assign array of pointers to pointers, to content of static array?

Code:

char myData[90][3][50];   //90 rows, 3 columns, each block 50 chars long   
char **tableData[90] = {NULL};  

const char* text;
text = sqlite3_column_text(stmt, col_index);

text_lenght = strlen(text) + 1;         // add 1 to get null 
strncpy(myData[row_index][c_index], text, text_lenght);
//top line in a loop for all rows and each column    <--EDIT the assignment is outside the column loop within the row loop.


tableData[row_index] = myData[row_index]; <--?Warning on this line

I need tableData to correctly point to contents of myData but it's not happening.
The warning is:

Code:

 : warning C4047: '=' : 'char ** ' differs in levels of indirection from 'char (*)[50]'

During run time I can see myData properly populated how I expect. However, tableData is filled with bad pointers...

Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.

That will never work because 'myData' isn't an array of pointers.

Code:

int main( int argc, char** argv )
{
	const int 
		ROW_COUNT = 90, 
		COLUMN_COUNT = 25, 
		TEXT_LENGTH = 50;
	typedef char 
		text_block[TEXT_LENGTH];
	typedef text_block 
		columns[COLUMN_COUNT];
	typedef columns
		table[ROW_COUNT] ;
	table 
		myTable; 
	columns*	
		myColumns[ROW_COUNT] = {0};
	myColumns[8] = &myTable[15];
	strncpy(myTable[15][4], "foobar", TEXT_LENGTH - 1);
	puts((*myColumns[8])[4]); 	
}
