i have this array for holding names of files char positions[4][10][100][100][100]; yes i know it''s huge. i want to initalise the whole thing so that all of the things = none. i can''t seem to get it to work anyone know how?

you could just use nested loops and go through setting each one individually.

i did that didn''t work.

i did this in the loop but it woukldn''t compile.

positions[4][10][100][100][100]="none";

i''m not to sure how you do it i also tried this.

positions[4][10][100][100][100]={''n'',''o'',''n'',''e''};

neither worked.

you did this "positions[4][10][100][100][100]="none"; "?? i hope you werent using 4,10,100 in your loop.
and what are you needing 38mb of filenames for, why store them in such a strange way?

char positions[4][10][100][100][100];
for ( int i = 0; i < 4; i++ )
{
    for ( int j = 0; j < 10; j++ )
    {
        for ( int k = 0; k < 100; k++ )
        {
            for ( int m = 0; m < 100; m++ )
            {
                strcpy( &positions[ i ][ j ][ k ][ m ][ 0 ], "none" );
            }
        }
    }
}

then that''s because u didn''t do it right. nested for loops will work, as has been displayed just above.
