Thread: Problems with a string arraay..

What is thr proper way to have an array of strings w/o having to deal with malloc and such.. i've tried several varients.. include these which all segfault..

Code:

char *randusername()
{
        char *names[2][12] = { {"ltorvalds"}, {"foobar"} };

        return names[0][0];

}

char *randusername()
{
        char *names[2][12] = { {"ltorvalds"}, {"foobar"} };

        return names[0];

}
char *randusername()
{
        char *names[2][12] = { "ltorvalds", "foobar" };

        return names[0][0];

}
char *randusername()
{
        char *names[2][12] = { "ltorvalds", "foobar" };

        return names[0];

}

what is the correct way to do this..



Thanks..

i hate to sound stupid, but how should the array be declared... ie, which one of the options i used above.. because i've tried both of those whilst moving the array into the global scope of things.

anway.. it still segfaults..
