How would I go about declaring strings in the PSPSDK? I've tried:
string blah;
but I get:
main.c:27: error: syntax error before 'blah'
main.c:27: warning: type defaults to 'int' in declaration of 'blah'
in the compiler. Is there an include file I need to recognize or is there a special type I need to use?

One more. How would I use strings in a printf()?

With integers it's like:
printf("%i", blahint);

so would it be:
printf("%s", blahstring);
?

Much appreciated!

You might want to brush up on your basic C skills...
You're after a character array.

and don't forget to add a \n character whenever you want to print something out onto the screen, since the psp does some sort of output buffering on debug screen before showing it up... (made me go totally crazy at some point :P)

I knew that I could use the char blah[]; to do a string like thing but I wanted a string array. Like string blah[];. Would I just do char blah[][];? Just do a double demension array?

When I try to do this:

char item[];
item[] = "blah";

I get this error:

main.c:2: error: syntax error before ']' token

Same happen whens I do this:

char item[3];
item[] = "blah";

But I get no errors when I do this:
char item[] = "blah";

This is normal, you don't seem to know either C or C++

please read a C language tutorial and you will know what you can do or not.

Because it is a non-sense to write : blah[] = "ABC." since it must be a declaration of new variable;

the only way to use [] in a expression is to access an element of the array, so :

char blah[] = "ABC"; // blah is a CONSTANT string being seen as an array of char.

printf("%c\n", blah[1]); ------> displays a B on screen.

I know C++ but not C. I just happen to not be very good with arrays.
