    Displaying chars in printf()

    This is really annoying...

    OK, for various reasons, I need to use printf() and not cout. When displaying a variable, I know you can use %d for numbers, but is there one for a character array? %c will display a single ascii character, but if I have an array of, say, 20 or so characters, how can I print them? Thanks...
