Too Many Initializers With Visual Studio?

[maria]

I have an array,

string data[248][5],

which produces the error "Too many initializers".
Each one of the 248 rows has 5 items with
a maximum total length of 173 characters.
I am using Visual Studio 6.0. Should I allocate memory
for this array to avoid the error? If the answer is "Yes", would you
please be kind enough to tell me how?
Thank you very much.

You are declaring 248 * 5 strings. Is this what you want? I believe
you may have crossed the initialization limit.

1240 strings? Come on! What "initializa tion limit"? Of course, we
haven't see the actual _initialisation _ to make any determination.. .

To 'maria':

Arrays do not "produce the error", your code does. Post your code.

I am quite sure that the number of elements is not a problem in the
way you seem to imply. The problem likely is that you have to many
elements in your array. I guess

int v[2] = { 0, 1, 2 };

gives you the same errormessage.

Thank you all very much for your help.
You were right.
It was some invisible character that made
Visual Studio count the array elements wrong.
