a char **variablename is a pointer to a pointer to the strings (actually
it's not a string, more an array of characters terminated with a '\0')
a char *variablename is a pointer to the character string itself:
char **var:
[string\0]<-char *var <- char **var
if you dereference a char **var you get the same as a char *var (i hope!)
and if you dereference that you get the data.
is visual basic a programming language? i thought it was a way of writing
programs without typing anything... :)
Uh oh, i'm not on my usual computer, forgotten what the list's address is!
hang on...
