my question is, what would be the best format for a variable (or more than one) to store a set of ten strings, which will be filled from a data file (on disk), and then passed on to another function and used to load other data files (depending on the contents of the ten strings)
I'd like to keep it as clean as possible, especially for passing the strings over to the second function.
The first function reads the data file, and fills the strings;
the second function is the menu, it (based on user input) decides which of the strings to use, and returns that.
