Onerous Onomatopoeia is a far better name for a Ubuntu iteration, IMO :laugh:

Srsly though, who's idea was it to omit strings from C? and being a complete n00b I'm struggling to convert pointers into multi-dimensional character arrays and I don't even know what this means :bricks:

C has strings. A string in C is defined as a null-terminated char array. There are loads of string functions, which usually take a pointer to the start of the string and interpret the null character as the end of a string.

String literals are enclosed in double quotes and the null character in this situation is implicit. i.e, these are equivalent:

char str[10] = "Hello.";

char str[10] = {'H', 'e', 'l', 'l', 'o', '.', '\0'};

char arrays are a poor replacement for proper strings :haughty:

I needed to copy a string that was actually a pointer (???) into an array of strings (i.e. an array of arrays of chars) in a loop. But for some reason whatever I tried, I couldn't copy the entire string into a char array, so instead I've done something really long-winded and constructed a loop that copies each character of the string into the char array one by one :s-smilie: It's not ideal but it works and the state of my code doesn't matter, so I'm happy :biggrin:

well spotted!

I'm sat here trying to do compilers c/w and have already lost the will to live.
IE9 released. Is a massive step from ie7/8.
Admittedly playing catchup with chrome but hot damn, it plays catchup well. I might even open it occasionally now.

Agreed, though I'm mostly using the Chrome Canary build or the FF4 RC. if they fail, I sue Chrome Stable, then IE9, simply because of extensions support/tab management in IE9 is not as good as the other two.

I also use Opera 11 occasionally, because it's generally more compliant to standards than others. (I build websites for Opera or Chrome, then break them to make them render as I want with the other browsers).

I do like the FF4 RC though, Tab Candy/Panorama is really useful if you've a machine powerful enough, and it's got the smallest toolbar space if set to small icons when maximised (without the bookmarks toolbar, which I bring up temporarily if I need access to it).
