help with strcpy()

[sanalsprasad]

Hi, i am trying to copy a peice of string into a string array for a project but it seems that something is wrong with strcpy() when i use it with an array.

#include <iostream>
#include<cstdlib>
#include<cstring>

using namespace std;

char messages[100][10] = {"","","","","","","","","",""};

void insertMessage(char* mes)
{
        for (int i = 9; i > 0; i--)
        {
                strcpy( ::messages[i], ::messages[i-1]);
        }


            strcpy( ::messages[0],mes);
}

int main()
{
    system("cls");
    insertMessage("saasasasasasasasasasasasasasasa");
    for(int k = 0; k < 10 ; k++ )
        cout << ::messages[k] << endl;

	cin.get();
	return 0;
}

I am only allowed to use C type strings for the project. Thanks for the help.

You have your array of ten items specified backwards. It should be char messages[10][100] = {...};.

Good luck!

thanks!! that helped. I must have been really very stupid.

Only for the quarter-second it took you to mistype that one spot. It happens to everyone.
