Storing text data in a variable with an array - Juvanii - 28.03.2015

How to store text data in a variable with an array?
I tried to make this but didn't work!

pawn Code:

new text[15];
text[0] = "text1";
text[1] = "text2";

I already tried this also and the compiler became with:

Code:

You can only store 1 bit of information in each cell of the array.
When using format, or text[15] = "string" it's practically just:

pawn Code:

text[0] = "s";
text[1] = "t";
text[2] = "r";
text[3] = "i";
text[4] = "n";
text[5] = "g";
text[6] = "";

The last character will be taken up by "null".
So you have to use ball's method, which works fine for me.
I don't think there's a problem in using it, even though it gives that result, unless your server crashes or something ofcourse.

I know that, i created this thread to see if there is a method to store text data or not!
consider i have 30 text data wanna use it in formatting a msg under one function, it's impossible to make 30 local variables such as:

pawn Code:

new variable1[50];
new variable2[50];
new variable3[50];
new variable4[50];
new variable5[50];
...
...
...
