array equal to another array

[dayknight]

do {
				cout << "\nStudent ID found";
				cout << "\nNow deleting student profile";
			
				record.Fname[x] = record.Fname[x][x];
				record.Lname[x] = record.Lname[x+1];
				record.Cname[x] = record.Cname[x+1];
				record.Sid[x] = record.Sid[x+1];
				record.Cid[x] = record.Cid[x+1];
				record.Smark[x] = record.Smark[x+1];
				x++;
			}while (x!=record.key);

i want to assign the next value of the same array to the present value , but for some reason it gives me error... suggestions?

That's not a lot of code to go off of, but the obvious problem occurs on this line:

record.Fname[x] = record.Fname[x][x];

Also, if any of those are pointers (esp. char*), then presumably you want to do a deep copy (copy the contents of the pointer, not the pointer itself). Otherwise, you'd have to do a good bit of extra work to make sure there are non memory errors.

Couple problems.

To index an array of structures is the same for any other data type.

structure[index]

To access the data in the structure at that index would then be:

structure[index].member

Next problem:

>> record.Fname[x] = record.Fname[x][x];

Typo?

Finally, if Lname, for instance, is a character array, you need to use something like strcpy(), since char * = char * is not what you want - right?

ya it was typo
it is : record.Fname[x] = record.Fname[x+1];

thxs it works

[Sebastiani]

Is 'record' an array?

[dayknight]

it works
