saving an array to file

[SteveCRM]

How can i save an array to a file? Thanks guys

[parksie]

try this:

char** MyArray = {"Hi there", "And again", "Different"};

ofstream MyFile("c:\myfile.txt");

for(int i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
    MyFile << MyArray << endl;
}

sorry Im pretty new to C++ but what does char** do?

[parksie]

Sorry...well, a pointer to char is char*, which means that:

char* me = "Hello";

me now points to the first character, and (*me), when dereferenced, is equal to 'H'. If you add another *, then you are taking a pointer to a pointer to char, basically getting a multidimensional array.

so Char** me = "Hello" would get "He"?

sorry I just wanted to make sure it wasn't math...

[parksie]

No. char** me would give an error...

char* it = "It's string";
char* that = "Another string";
char** both = {it, that};

Do you get the picture? Likewise:

char* it = "It's string";
char* that = "Another string";
char** both = {it, that};
char** opp = {that, it};
char*** all = {both, opp};

then I can do:

cout << all[0][0][0] << endl;

to print "It's string"
