I would like to create a dynamic array, of say, 10 strings.

I would like to use pointers if possible, to show the relationships between the strings, like as follows:

a[1] to a[2]
a[1] to a[3]
a[1] to a[4]
a[1] to a[5] ......

snip
a[2] to a[3]
a[2] to a[4]
a[2] to a[5] ......

snip
a[3] to a[4]
a[3] to a[5]  etc etc.

Is this possible using Tango ?

thanks

D newbie.

In D by default strings are dynamic arrays of characters. You can also use normal C strings, with a \0 at the end, using the appropriate C string functions, but then you have to be careful when you print them, etc.

If this means you want to use C-like pointers to arrays of chars you can define it like this: char*[] arr;

But in most situations you don't want that.

I think Tango or Phobos matter little for this, but I can't be sure because I haven't understood what you want. You can also try the #d or #d.tango IRC channels, where you can ask things with more interactivity.

Use an IRC client - for example mIRC or xchat. Search and you will find a multitude of options.

Connect to irc.freenode.org, and when there join the #d.tango channel. You will find people there all day round, but European and US day/evening time is probably the most active.

Or use mibbit.com, a web front end for irc.  It's great if you don't want to bother downloading and installing a program which you may seldom use anyway.

I did as you suggested. I have downloaded mIRC and installed it,
but when I installed it and go to #d.tango  there is no one there !
This may because of the  difference in time zone, living in New Zealand.  This means I'm 20 hours  behind california, 17 hours behind new york, 12 hours behind england, and 11 hours behind Germany. It does not make it easy.
Is there any way to open a session and leave it open, so that I can at least see what is being discussed.
Also, how can i verify that I am at the right place ?

regards

Try getting the list of existing channels and pick d.tango from there. There is 56 user in the channel right now.

It has a name: `d.tango'. Join `d' also.

You're in the correct channel, but wrong network/server. Connect to irc.freenode.org instead of undernet.
