Inserting a string variable into an array (ERROR 006) - Mironinja4 - 15.04.2015

Hi, I am having a little bit of trouble (much trouble) and I need some help.

Basically, I need to add a string variable to an array and I can't, it always gives me errors. I use the default Pawno BTW.

Here is an example of a script that gives me errors, for example:

main()
{
new array[5];
array[0] = "I AM HAPPY TO SEE YOU";
print(array[0]);
}

I am sorry if I posted in the wrong section, it is the first time I post on this forum and I wish you, the reader, all the best from me.

That is simply not possible. Strings are stored in arrays; each character is an index.

pawn Код:

new string[6] = "Hello";

string[0] = 'H';
string[1] = 'e';
string[2] = 'l';
string[3] = 'l';
string[4] = 'o';
string[5] = 0; // Null terminator (can be represented with '\0')

If you want an array of strings, you have to do something like this:

pawn Код:

new strings[5][16] = { // 5 strings with UP TO 15 characters each (+1 for null terminator)
"example",
"example",
"example",
"example",
"example"
};

Then you could display the first string as 'strings[0]. But even then you can't use the assignment operator (x = y) to modify an array unless it is the same size. You'd have to use format().

@MP2: Don't lie to the kid, he just needs to enumerate it!

enum _Enum_
{
string[64],
int1,
int2,
Float:float1,
Float:float2
}
main()
{
new array[_Enum_];
format(array[string], sizeof array[string], "I AM HAPPY TO SEE YOU %s", "BITCH");
array[int1] = 666;
array[int2] = 777;
array[float1] = 676.0;
array[float2] = 767.0;
printf("string: %s\nint 1: %i\nint 2: %i\nfloat 1: %0.2f\nfloat 2: %0.2f\n", array[string], array[int1], array[int2], array[float1], array[float2]);
}

Output:
I AM HAPPY TO SEE YOU BITCH
666
777
676.00
767.00

It worked. I can't belive it actually worked. Thank you! It should be included in the Wikipedia Pawn scripting page, but it isn't. Thank you again, you changed my life! xD

It is in the wiki. It's all in the enumerator section.
