Re: [Dev-C++] Lookup tables, with bsearch, lsearch, qsort etc.

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

Thanks I'll do some research.
Can you tell me how to put these values in to a struct?

1, "Letter"
2, "Letter(small)"
3, "Tabloid"

etc. I'm having trouble with this.

struct PAPER
{
     int   Num;
     char* PaperStrings[42][1];
} PaperTypes, *PaperStruct = &PaperTypes;

    PaperTypes.Num = 1;
    PaperTypes.PaperStrings[42][1] = "Letter";
    PaperStruct->PaperStrings[40][1] = "Letter(small)";

As you can see this is very wrong. I feel an idiot, but all the examples of 
structs I have seen do not use arrays or do anything like this, so I don't 
know how to do it!

Can you help?
