I am getting syntax errors if i try to define an array of strings like this:

Code:

---

STRING* text[1] = "text";
STRING* text[2] = "text2";
...

or :

STRING* text[2] = {"text","text2"...}

---

The array explanation in the manual does only show some examples with the type "var", but the same methods dont seem to work with strings.

could someone please write an simple array to show me its structure?

thanks, tarandur.

i don't think you can make arrays out of strings, try using structs

It's very easy - use TEXT's. (see it in manual - "TEXT"). They can be used as string arrays.
If you don't want to use TEXT* objects, you can define a struct type with STRING's.

yeah, TEXT is the best way to do that

Ok thanks, it works. But i cant believe there is no possibility for arrays.
(later) i tried :


STRING* text[2];

text[1] = "text";
text[2] = "text2";


im not getting any kind of errors, and i can also change values draw the text...

you have to use str_cpy instead.

Code:

---

STRING* textStr[2];

str_cpy(textStr[0],"text");
str_cpy(textStr[1],"text2");

I know this thread looks almost dead, but can I drop a question in here?

The above does indeed work fine but how can I define a pointer to the array?

In the case of a char it would be as follows:-


I'm after a Pointer-to-a-structure-pointer I suppose you could call it.
Ive tried using
and this works, until I try to pass it as a parameter to a function, then it all falls down.

Any suggestions anyone??
Thanks in advance.
