C Data structure how to declare

Question

I am stuck on the on how to manipulate the data structure.

I have header file that declare like this

struct item{
 int    i;  
 char   str[88];
};

and I have a C file that I want to make 9 structure items (I declare as global variable and I already include the header file):

struct item a[9];

but when I want to put the data that I want into

foo()

    {
    ...
      // let's say I have data int in index and char[] in string
      // and I want it to put at item_index

      a[item_index].i = index;
      a[item_index].str = string;
    ...
    }

but when ever I tried to compile it seem that it always shows

error: expected an identifiler

Answer 1

a[item_index].str = string;

此行不会按照您期望的方式运行.您需要使用strcpy()才能复制字符串:

strcpy(a[item_index].str, string)
