how to redeclare an array with different size but keep the previous data?

Tee
Hi,

Anyone know how to redeclare an array with different size but keep the
previous data? Just like the redim preserve in VB.
Thanks.

Just create a new array and copy the contents of the old array to it. I
believe thats basically all that ReDim does anyway.

Hi Dan,

If the redim is needed in a while loop, how should I do it?

Thanks

In exactly the same way. However, you can make things faster by only
reallocating size in chunks - for instance, doubling the size of array
each time, and then reallocating it once after the loop to the "right"
size.

Hi guys, In a program (not my own) I encountered the declaration of a constant pointer to an array consisting of two other const pointers to arrays. Not quite sure why they do it so complicated, but is it legal? Most compilers accept it, but one doesn't recognize the rhs as a constant. What are the requirements for the rhs in the declaration of a const pointer? Is the following program legal C? int main(int argc, char *argv) {
