    initialising 2-dim char array

    how do i allocate memory to a 2-dim char array:

    char **array;

    can i set and look at a row like one whose size is specified?
    e.g.

    strcpy(array[0],"This is an example");

    printf("output : %s\n",array[0]);

    TIA, rotis23

    A good paper to read.

    Also, do a board search, this has been asked a few times before.
    When all else fails, read the instructions.
    If you're posting code, use code tags: [code] /* insert code here */ [/code]

    thanks hammer (again),

    the link seems to be broken.

    can't seem to find an answer to this problem.

    maybe i just can't search!

    The link does work from here, must be your ISP or something.

    In the meantime, review this thread:

    Make sure you read all the posts in it.
