digitalmars.D.learn - arrays and pointers & Tango

reply Nick B <nick.barbalich gmail.com> writes:
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

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.



 I would like to use pointers if possible,


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.



 to show the relationships between the strings, like as follows:


I don't understand.

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.

  where can i find the #d.tango IRC channel ?  What tool do I use to

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 ?

There is 56 user in the channel right now.

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

No, in fact that's probably the reason you're getting an invalid

Or you can run Opera and type irc://irc.freenode.org
The wizard will ask you for a name, mail and nick and that's all, you are  
in!

BTW, Opera may also be used as a newsreader client, and it is very good at  
it.
