Using .length() with multidimensional char array ? (Help)
 

Hi all,

Quite a basic question for most of you; I am trying to obtain length of a string < char name[MAX_ENTRIES][MAX_NAME_SIZE] > for use in a for loop that will perform isalpha.

for (int j=0; j < &name[i].length(); j++)

I am getting error 2228: left of '.length' must have class/struct/union type upon compile.

Can anyone please offer me some guidance?

This is a simple win32 console application. See attached code.

How exactly do you want to get length?!!
The only way I know of is using <string.h> There is a strlen(char *s) function which return the strings length :D
