[Dev-C++] Searching through an array - comparing pointers

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

I'm having trouble with my compare function. The compiler is complaining 
that there is no conversion from char** to int. I don't get it!

I've created an array with data and now I want to loop through it until I 
find a match for gKey in Array[Here][blank].


#include <iostream>

const char* gKey = "5";

// Forward declaration
int Compare( const char* Check1, char* Check2[41][2] );

int main(int argc, char** argv)
{

    // Declare the struct and then initialise the array it contains

    struct PAPER
    {
        char* PaperStrings[41][2];
    } PaperTypes, *PaperStruct = &PaperTypes;

    int StructSize = sizeof(PaperTypes);
    std::cout << StructSize << std::endl;

    PaperTypes.PaperStrings[0][0] = "1";
    PaperTypes.PaperStrings[0][1] = "Paper Type: Letter";

    PaperTypes.PaperStrings[1][0] = "2";
    PaperTypes.PaperStrings[1][1] = "Paper Type: Letter(small)";

    PaperTypes.PaperStrings[2][0] = "3";
    PaperTypes.PaperStrings[2][1] = "Paper Type: Tabloid";

    PaperTypes.PaperStrings[3][0] = "4";
    PaperTypes.PaperStrings[3][1] = "Paper Type: Ledger";

    PaperTypes.PaperStrings[4][0] = "5";
    PaperTypes.PaperStrings[4][1] = "Paper Type: Legal";

    PaperTypes.PaperStrings[5][0] = "6";
    PaperTypes.PaperStrings[5][1] = "Paper Type: Statement";

    PaperTypes.PaperStrings[6][0] = "7";
    PaperTypes.PaperStrings[6][1] = "Paper Type: Executive";

    PaperTypes.PaperStrings[7][0] = "8";
    PaperTypes.PaperStrings[7][1] = "Paper Type: A3";

    PaperTypes.PaperStrings[8][0] = "9";
    PaperTypes.PaperStrings[8][1] = "Paper Type: A4";

    PaperTypes.PaperStrings[9][0] = "10";
    PaperTypes.PaperStrings[9][1] = "Paper Type: Statement";

    PaperTypes.PaperStrings[10][0] = "11";
    PaperTypes.PaperStrings[10][1] = "Paper Type: Executive";

// etc.

    // Commented out, calling Compare to do search.
//  bsearch(gKey, PaperStruct, StructSize, sizeof(char*), Compare(gKey, 
PaperTypes.PaperStrings));

    Compare(gKey, PaperTypes.PaperStrings);

    return 0;
}


// Compare function
int Compare( const char* Check1, char* Check2[41][2] )
{
   // Look for a match. Loop until found or Temp = 60
   for (int Temp = 0; Temp < (sizeof(*Check2) || 60); Temp++)
   {
       if (*Check1 == Check2[Temp])
       {
           std::cout << "\nLookup was completed successfully!!!\n\n" << 
std::endl;
       }
       else
       {
           // Do nothing
       }
   }
   return 1;
}
