Printing pointer to pointer to a string

[drhowarddrfine]

I'm not 100% sure if what I'm writing is the problem or if the problem is elsewhere. I am given this '**string;' which, of course points to a string. I need to print this string. I'm simply doing printf("%s",string) and every combination with '*' thereof but not getting the expected string to print (either garbage or a fault). What am I forgetting?

Hmm. Might be something else is the problem. I looked at the assembly language and what I originally tried seems to be working:
printf("%s",**string);

The function that is giving me **string is declared as
'char** getstring(void);'
and I am doing this:

char** string;
char** getstring(void);
 
string=getstring();
printf("%s",**string);

Nope. So I'm back to my original question. Am I forgetting something?

Nope. A char* might point to a C string. char * array like char *string[] could also be expressed as char**. You have an array of strings on hand. Might want to take a closer look at the code that is involved.

Can we all say "Arrrrghhh!"

In my print routine, I wasn't checking for when there was no string. The way it would fail made me think it was problems with my pointer scheme.
