In c++ I would make an array of strings as follows;

string goblygoo[] = {"line one","line two","line three"};

How would I impliment this in c-lite?

I have been taking shots at it for about 2 hours now and cant figuar it out or find help anyplace else.

Any ideas?

This is what I came up with but it is still not working the way I expected, anyone have any ideas?

#include <acknex.h>
#include <default.c>



STRING* one = "0";
STRING* two = "1";
STRING* three = "2";

function msgbox(STRING* new)
{

STRING* clearText = " ";
STRING* holder_one = " ";
STRING* holder_two = " ";
STRING* holder_three = " ";

str_cpy(holder_one,one);
str_cpy(holder_two,two);
//str_cpy(holder_three,three);


str_cpy(one,clearText);
str_cpy(two,clearText);
str_cpy(three,clearText);


TEXT* lnONE =
{
pos_y = 100;
string (one);
flags = VISIBLE;
}

TEXT* lnTWO =
{
pos_y = 110;
string (two);
flags = VISIBLE;
}

TEXT* lnTHREE =
{
pos_y = 120;
string (three);
flags = VISIBLE;
}

str_cpy(one,new);
str_cpy(two,holder_one);
str_cpy(three,holder_two);

}


function main()
{
msgbox("100");
wait(1000);
msgbox("is this working");
wait(1000);
msgbox("i guess so");
return;
}

Hi!

Is : STRING* clearText = " ";
inside a function?

Try it outside the function...it will become global and not local.

Hi,

I found this and saved it when i was browsing the forum.
Havent used it yet but thought it could be usefull.




hope this is what you need?

I found that post also I could not get it to work, I am going to play around with it some more. **now where did my old c programming book end up at**

UPDATE!

I got it to work by changing that code a bit i used...

STRING** tst;
tst = malloc((long) sizeof(STRING*) * 10);
var i = 0; // declared a var
for(i=0;i<10;i++) // removed the int
tst[i]=str_create("#10");

next...
How would I use that with
TEXT* box =
{
layer = 15;
string(tst);
flags = VISIBLE;
}
did not work...

So,

STRING* sTextString1 = "Welcome\n";
STRING* sTextString2 = "This is";
STRING* sTextString3 = " a ";
STRING* sTextString4 = "Text";
STRING* sTextString5 = "\nand this another line!";

TEXT* tInfo =
{
layer = 25;
pos_x = 300;
pos_y = 300;
string (sTextString1,
sTextString2,
sTextString3,
sTextString4,
sTextString5); // create an array of 5 string pointers
flags = SHOW;
}

Now you can access the strings with
tInfo.pstring[0] // (0-4) e.g

str_cpy(tInfo.pstring[0],"your text");

Time we got proper arrays me thinks.

Though if you want to have several text-objects you have to do it this way



EDIT: Oh yeah I forgot to mention.
You should make an exit-function which frees the memory again if you use malloc. Like
