#104 Array of Strings can not be updated

[Anonymous]

Hi Guys,

Cool software!

but the following piece of code:

string myStrings[];
ArrayInit(myStrings, "1", 4); // set array of strings to a size of 4 (0..3)
myStrings[0] = "please work";
myStrings[1] = "testing";
TextOut(1, LCD_LINE1, myStrings[1]);

Which according to the changelog should work since Version 1.0.1.b25 (example is the same) ..

Doesn't work on the "Next Byte Codes Compiler version 1.2 (1.2.1.r4, built Tue Mar 15 15:56:24 CDT 2011)" for a .nxc file (on OSX).

What is a workaround for this problem?

Cheers,
Davy

2-d arrays, which include arrays of strings that are really arrays of byte arrays under the hood, require the enhanced NBC/NXC firmware due to a bug in the REPLACE opcode that LEGO has never fixed in the standard firmware. I strongly suspect that you are running the standard firmware on your NXT.

yes you are right.. I'm using the standard firmware..

should have reported that as well...
