Array of string pointers?

Code:

---

char *my_array[12];

---

what exactly does that do? does it create an array of character pointers or a pointer to a character array? wha?

It declares an array of pointers to char.

-Prelude

so how could i make an array of pointers to character arrays?

from this :
char *my_array[12];

my_array[0]=new char[99];
then
strcpy(my_array[0], "Well, Done!");

Unless my mind has completely left me:
char *(*array[10])[10];

will give you an array of 10 pointers to an array of 10 char pointers.

neandrake: what are you trying to do? Create an array of strings? learn about arrays/pointers? Do you have an example of how you tried to use the line you posted and had trouble using/understanding it?
