How to manually initialize an array of structs?

[Involute]

I have the following struct:

struct Frame {
    unsigned char digit;    // Digit:  0 = 1 minutes, 1 = 10 minutes, etc.
    unsigned char seg;      // Segment to turn on:  a - g
    unsigned char dur;      // Duration in msec. to keep it on
};

I'd like to create an array of these structs with 50 elements, each of which is initialized to a specific value (I can't do it through a loop). How do I do that? E.g., a 5 element array of ints could be initialized as follows:

int loop1[] = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4};

I think the array I need would start like:

struct Frame loop1[] = { ??? };

I don't know how to specify the individual Frame instances with their values within the array. Thanks for your help.

I think in C99 you can do:

struct Frame loop[] = { { .digit = ?, .seg = ?, .dur = ? }, /* ... */ };

The named parameters are just niceties though, you can do it without them - just remember the order.

The syntax would be something like this:

struct Frame loop1[] = {{0, 1, 2},
                        {1, 2, 3},
                        {2, 3, 4},
                        {3, 4, 5},
                        {4, 5, 6}};

EDIT:

Actually, while you cannot initialise with a loop, you don't necessarily have to initialise in that sense, e.g., instead of hardcoding all 50 elements' initial values, perhaps you could read from file and then use a loop to assign the initial values according to what was read.

Thanks, guys. I'll give those a try.
