Creating an Array of Strings?

[bont]

I have been pondering how to create an array of strings:

first I create a string--
char my_string_item[1000];

then I must create an array of type my_string_item

How do I do this? I keep erroring.

P.S. I would like 1000 strings in my array so

my_string_item my_string_array[1000] ????

Hi Bont,
It looks like you are trying to declare an array of characters... not strings. Try
string my_string_item[1000]
this should declare an array of type string with a size of 1000.
I'm not sure if this is the answer you are looking for.

I am trying to create an array of STRINGS. Each item in the array would be a string of length 1048. There will be 1000 items. Is this possible? [sig][/sig]

use 2-D char array:
char my_string_item[1000][1048];

a string can be referred as my_string_item[0]
