Passing multidimensional arrays in functions

[Seafury888]

I'm wondering how to pass an array of strings to a function.
Ie:

//variable declaration
char roman1[50][20];

//function prototype
void Thousands(int[], int[], int, char[]);

//function call
Thousands(num1, num3, j, roman1[20]);

//function header
void Thousands(int num1[], int num3[], int j, char roman1[])

//this line is in the function and gives me the error, cannot convert 'int' to 'char *'
strcpy(roman1[j],"M");

Any help with this issue would be awesome.
Thanks

Put "M" in single quotes 'M'. Post again if that doesn't fix it.

Nope didn't fix it, I think I have to pass the array as a reference....trying to figure out the syntax.

To pass pointers to a function do like this:

char String[BigOne];

void Clear_String(char * AnyString, int TheSize)
{
while(TheSize--) *(AnyString++) = 0;
}

void main(void)
{
Clear_String(&String, sizeof(String)); // Clear the string
}
