Problem looping through an array

**jamez05** · 10-31-2005

I'm trying to loop through an array, but get the errror "error C2109: subscript requires array or pointer type". I'm not sure why this doesn't work. The error happens when I try to
set CFtemp2 = bnext[i][md]: sprintf(CFtemp2,"%i",bnext[i][md]);:

Code:

			for (i = 0 ; i <= MAXATM + 1 ; i++) {
			
				
				sprintf(CFtemp,"%i",bnext[i]);

				for (md = 0 ; md <= MAXDEG + 1 ; md++) {
				
					int iRow = pQuery->AddRow() ;

					sprintf(CFtemp2,"%i",bnext[i][md]);				

					pQuery->SetData( iRow, iCol1, CFtemp2 ) ;
					pQuery->SetData( iRow, iCol2, CFtemp ) ;	
				

					CFtemp2[0] = '\0';
				
				}

				CFtemp[0] = '\0';

		
			}

what is bnext?

**jamez05** · 10-31-2005

bnext is an array declared in an include file and populated prior to the function I'm trying to read it in:

Code:

#define MAXATM 60

#define MAXDEG 6

int    bnext[MAXDEG+1][MAXATM+1];

char CFtemp[1000];//used for temparary storage variable when converting ints to chars
char CFtemp2[1000];//Secondary used for temparary storage variable when converting ints to chars for arrays

hmm, it seems to me that this line should be giving you the error:

sprintf(CFtemp,"%i",bnext[i]);

If bnext was defined as having 2 dimensions then this would of course give you an error. A fix would be to add the second substring like:

sprintf(CFtemp,"%i",bnext[i][i]);

Other than that, I don't see a problem with your syntax.

I tried the fix, but for some reason, I'm still getting the error.

Here's the updated code. I'll keep digging into it and post a answer if I
find one:

Code:

			CFtemp2[0] = '\0';
			
			for (i = 0 ; i <= MAXATM + 1 ; i++) {
			
				
				



				for (md = 0 ; md <= MAXDEG + 1 ; md++) {
				
					int iRow = pQuery->AddRow() ;

					sprintf(CFtemp2,"%i",bnext[i][md]);				

					pQuery->SetData( iRow, iCol1, CFtemp2 ) ;
					;	
				

					CFtemp2[0] = '\0';
				
				}

				CFtemp[0] = '\0';

		
			}

Figured it out, a very dumb error on my part. I named the query the same as the
variable I was trying to access - duh! sorry about that.
