Re: [Dev-C++] difference between char* argv[] and char *argv[]

[Daniel G. <sp...@ho...>]

I think argv[][] would be a two dimensional array, n'est pas?
Thanks for the information on the whole char* thing, I think I'll go for the 
*var type but we'll see (new job today so I guess I'll do what I'm told).

Best regards,
Daniel
