Hi,
I have the following array in my game:


Is there a fast way of assigning all elements in the array to " " without looping through them all?

Thanks,
Alex

char* TextObjectText[10000] = { };

btw, why do you want 10000 spaces? couldn't you use #include <string>

I don't, its just that some of the array is assigned later in the code and some is not. Later I run through parts of the array, but I get an access violation because a part of the array is not assigned to anything.

I still get an access violation. Here is the code:



This works:



But I don't want to have to loop through the array and assign them all.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Alex

Im not sure, but i guess the only way is to loop through them and assign them, but it shouldn't take that long to do.

This changes the if statement to check to see if TextObjectText[1] is not null, and if that's true, to then carry out the strcmp function call.

when you have char * text[1000];
text[1] =" ";

text[1] points to a valid memory location that has NULL in the first location. It is NOT address 0 as if you had done text[1] = 0;

what you want is:
text[1] = " ";

if( *text[1] == 0 )
