need help on string array

[Abhishek Sharma]

Hello
I have to create an array of string(rowname) such that
rowname[0] = "c1",rowname[1] = "c2",............................................. ..........
rowname[NUMROWS+1] = "NUMROWS"
I have written this part of code as

    char **rowname = new char*[NUMROWS] ; 
    char row = 'c' ;
    char str[20] ;
 
    for(i=1;i<=NUMROWS;i++)
    {
        sprintf(str,"%c%d",row,i);
    }
 

How can i link str with rowname.
I tried

rowname[i] = str ;
rowname[i] = &str ; 
 

But nothing works, can anyone suggest some way to do this.

Thanks
Abhishek

This code:

char **rowname = new char*[NUMROWS] ; 
 

has created an array of char*. That means rowname[0] can point to a string.

However, you need to allocate memory for the string first.

rowname[0] = new char(strlen(str) + 1];
strcpy(rowname[0], str];
 

and then copy str to the allocation.
