Making an Array to Hold Arrays of Character Arrays in C

Question

My C is a little more than rusty at the moment, so I\'m failing to create something I think should be pretty basic.

Allow me to refer to character arrays as strings

Answer 1

if storing text in a .c or .h file having more than one line of text, equivalent to the idea of an array of char arrays. can do this:

char * text[] = {
  "message1",
  "message2",
  "message3"
};

can also use char *text[], char near *text[], char far *text[], char huge *text[]. has to have an asterisk or star character for a pointer.

a for loop can be used to display text:

char i; // int type can also be used
for (i = 0, i < 3; i++)
  printf("%s\n", text[i]);

other loops:

char i = 0;  // may not be zero when declared as "char i;" only
while (i < 3) {
  printf("%s\n", text[i]);
  i++;
 }

or

char i = 0;  // may not be zero when declared as "char i;" only
do {
 printf("%s\n", text[i]);
 i++;
} while (i < 3);
