    <p>I have a function..</p> <pre><code>char ** getCommand() { char *commandArray[BUFSIZ]; //declaring an array of char pointers // i m doing things to array return commandArray; } </code></pre> <p>I am getting an error saying "conflicting types". what is the type of commandArray? It is a pointer to a pointer right?</p> <p>I tried char *getcommand()...that didn't work either. I am calling this function in main so I have delcared..</p> <pre><code>main() { char *commands; commands = getCommand(); //this didn't work // So I redeclared... char *commands[BUFSIZ]; commands = getCommand(); //this didn't work either. } </code></pre> <p>Whats going on? I have never worked w/ array of pointers before... someone simplify the problem...and give me some kind of hint pls..</p> <p><strong>EDIT</strong></p> <p>Ok thanks for the suggestions...didn't work...</p> <p>I am pasting the code...suggested changes reflected..getting same error, saying the getCommand has conflicting error types.</p> <pre><code>char **getCommand() { int command_num; char input[BUFSIZ]; char **commandArray; command_num = 0; commandArray = (char**) malloc (BUFSIZ * sizeof(char)); fgets(input,sizeof(input),stdin); commandArray[command_num] = strtok(input, " "); /*breaks a string of commands into tokens*/ while (commandArray[command_num]!= NULL) { printf ("%s\n", commandArray[command_num]); command_num++; commandArray[command_num] = strtok (NULL, " "); } commandArray[command_num] = NULL; /*very imp - adds null in the last position*/ return commandArray; } </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
