[SOLVED] Pointer to an array of arrays

How do you point to an array of arrays? I want to point to array[0] and increment a ptr to use *ptr to compare the letters of array[0].

Code:

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
     char *array[] =
     {
          "Array one.\0",
          "Array two.\0",
          "Array three.\0"
     };

     char *ptr = array[0];

     while ( *ptr != '\0' )
     {
          printf("%c", *ptr);
          ptr++;
     }
     printf("\n");
}

Ok nevermind I just tested that and it works. Just ignore this.

FYI, you have an array of pointers, not an array of arrays. Also, the "\0" is redundant in string literals (unless you want 2 nul characters).
