length of 2D Array >> char **myString= (char **) malloc (sizeof (char *));

[davidb]

Hi,
does someone know how to get the length of a 2 dimensional string
array:
here what i need:

----------------------------------------------------------------

char **getList(void){

char **myString= (char **) malloc (sizeof (char *));

for(int i=0;i<10;i++){
myString= (char **) realloc (myString, (i+1) * sizeof (char *));
myString = (char *) malloc (255 * sizeof(char));
strcpy (myString,"List Item");
}
return myString;
}

void something(void){
char **dataList = getList();

int length = ????? // IDEA ?

for(int i=0;i<length;i++){
printf(dataList);
}
}

----------------------------------------------------------------

if done several experiments with sizeof like
int length = (sizeof(array)/sizeof(array[0])
but most time i always get length = 1.

sorry, thats a bit simple, but i am cosseted java progger
you know > "my String".length.
So, if you know, please tell me.

best Regards,
David
