    Is there anyway I can copy a string into a 2 dimensional string array?

    Is that possible?

    A single string would seem to only occupy one slot of an array of strings. Is that what you mean, or are you looking for something more sinister?

    (1) "copy the a string to b" doesn't make sense

    (2) b is not a two-dimensional array of strings (it is a one-dimensional array of 19-character strings).

    (3) Are you sure you don't want the C Forum instead?

    (4) Really, really sure?
