I was trying to define an array of strings to store a bunch of symbol names. I tried the following methods which should be valid in standard C, but I got syntax errors in Zorro:

const char *array[] = {"USDJPY", "EURUSD", "USDCAD"};

Or:
char **array = (char *[]){"USDJPY", "EURUSD", "USDCAD"};

Eventually I was able to work around using the following:
string symb;
while(symb = loop("USDJPY", "EURUSD", "USDCAD"))
{
...
}

But this is not ideal as I cannot reuse the array somewhere else.

Does anyone know in Zorro how I should properly initialize an array of strings? If necessary I can accept a method that requires dynamic memory allocation.

Thanks!!

I'm use this:

Thanks, looks better. :-)

For a bunch of symbol names, the "official" method is storing them all in an asset list, and use the "Assets" pointer for the loop.

assetList("MySymbols.csv");
....
while(asset(loop(Assets))) ...

This way you don't need to change the script when adding or removing assets.
