Question

I have this struct:

#define sbuffer 128
#define xbuffer 1024

typedef struct{
    char name[sbuffer];
    char att[sbuffer];
    char type[sbuffer];
    int noOfVal;
    int ints[xbuffer];
    double doubles[xbuffer];
    char *strings[xbuffer];
} variable;

I need to create an array from this struct, I did this

variable *vars[512]; //is it right

If I want to put a string that I had in s into the name, I did this:

char *s = "What Ever";
strcpy(vars[0]->name,s);

but this doesn’t work for me, can anyone help?

Answer 1

Get rid of the * in this line:

variable *vars[512]; //is it right

And use dot syntax to access the struct member in strcpy:

char *s = "What Ever";
strcpy(vars[0].name,s);
