What i want is an array of five DATAFILE pointers (of Allegro type) At the moment i have DATAFILE *tiledata; and i want to do it so that i can access one of five datafiles in a quick array something like: DATAFILE *tiledata[5]; I know this is wrong as it doesn't seem to work. also, how to i access the data stored in the data array when i do use the array of pointers is it like: tiledata[arraypointernum][datanum].dat; or what? Thanks for the help. J Love.
