Assigning with a Pointer to Array of Chars
I have the following test code and it is not working:
char a[30];
char (*b)[30];
b = &a;
char (**c)[30];
c = &b;
(*c)[0] = a[1]; // error C2440: '=' : cannot convert from 'char' to 'char [30]'
Why is this happenning? Why is this not working?
Tks,
fsn. :)

# 1 Re: Assigning with a Pointer to Array of Chars
c is a pointer to a pointer of type "character array of 30 elements". a[1] is a pointer to a character. There is a type mismatch between a character array of 30 elements and a character.

It should be:
(**c)[0] = a[1];
(*c)[0] is a pointer, so you need to dereference it by adding an extra *.
