problem with pointers

[baxy77bax]

hi,

i need some help with resolving the following problem. What i have is a structure in which i have a pointer to the character array. on the other hand i have a string array like this:

typedef struct tmp{

char *array1;
}TMP;

int main(){

char *array2 = "mystring";

}

what i need to do is to make the array1 an array of pointers such that when i iterate over them like this :

for (i=0;i<=n;i++){
  printf("%s\n",TMP->array1[i]);
}

i get the result:

mystring
ystring
string
tring
ring
ing
ng
g

How would i do this, could anyone provide an example ??

thank you

Your example code is quite scrappy.
Iterate over memory instead. There is no point to assign a pointer to each character in the string.

for (i = 0; i < n; i++)
    printf("%s\n", TMP->array1 + i);

Did you test your own sample, above?

It actually should work.

The problem is that you are using typedef to design the struct but you never create an instance of the struct itself...

TMP Temp;   
// or
TMP* Temp = malloc(sizeof(TMP));
