Thread: set string array equal variable

I'm new to arrays, can anyone help explain my fault... Other than my lack of knowledge

I declare an array of strings:

Code:

char stations [20] [11];

then I try to set an element of the array determined by the value of a variable ->count to equal another variable -> partnerId.

Code:

//determine recType and populate array if necessary
		if (recType == 'p' || recType == 'P')
		{
			count = stationId; //set count equal to stationId
			stations [count]== partnerId; //set element equal to partnerId
			cout <<stations[count]<<endl; //display the element just set
		}

Every things seems to work fine, but my output on screen is nothing but garble. Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong?

thanks as always for the help-
