Multi dimensional Arrays

[Gabriel]

Hi all,

Is it possible to do string operations on Multidimensional arrays?

say:

[Ttelmah]

Yes, and no....

Yes. Perfectly possible.

No, not with what you show.

A _string_ in C, is an array of characters _with a terminating null_.

The string "abababa", is eight characters long, not seven.

Hi,

I'm aware or the '\n' termination for strings...
I was just trying to convey my point quickly, not typing compilable pseudo.

I'm working on an IoT project which is working beautifully if i may say so, but id like to add more features by having a config.h file which holds the parts that change from one module to the other.

Rather than having a file with different GET/POST commands, i want to have a multidimensional array(string) and build the GETs on the fly...

It's a syntax question.... ive not seen on the manual how to feed <string.h> functions a multidimensional array.

Thanks.
G.

Not '\n'. The terminator on a string is '\0'.

You don't. The string functions accept a pointer to a string. Nothing else.
The address of the first element in each row, points to that row. The row is just a string.

I have to say 'get a C text book'. This is nothing special in CCS, it is how C handles this. The manual assumes you have a C book or some understanding of C....

i think you can actually call a string operation on ANY location you set a pointer value to in memory, whether there is a string or not.

This is a strength and a weakness as CCS( and C in general )
has no bounds/dimension checking.

For all i know, you could even point to an SFR.

Just make sure there is a \0 terminator SOMEWHERE upstream before you pull the trigger

... i was thinking "null" and typed '\n' because of the Letter N...
its a common mistake i make while programming.
anyways i came here for help, i guess its easier to be condescending.
