Thread: Array of Structs question

Ok, after using Thantos suggestion of using an array of structs I have managed to build my struct and populate it in simple manner using integers to index my array.

However, I need to index my array using the value of a string. Does anyone know how I might use an array of strings tied to my struct?

the first successful aspec I used with ints was like this:

Code:

struct mystruct
{
   char id [11];
   int station;
   int wave;
}

mystruct mystructList [20];

strcpy(mystructList[wave].charid, someid);
mystructList[wave].station =1;
mystructList[wave].wave = 1;

when I use [wave] this represents the value between 0-19 that I want to address where my struct info will be added. The problem is... I need to load an array of strings and index the location of struct according to a specific string.
