shorten the string variable?

[moomooboy]

guys please help me T_T
im currently stuck on string, it takes too many line.
here is my sample:

char breadmenu[breads][menumax+1];
strcpy (breadmenu[0],"Parmasan") ;
strcpy (breadmenu[1],"Gralic");
strcpy (breadmenu[2],"Black Papper");
strcpy (breadmenu[3],"Almond");

char meatmenu[meats][menumax+1];
strcpy (meatmenu[0],"Chicken Steak");

and so on.... i have like 20 or 30 of these. im just wondering if there is anyway to shorten it.
i know tha in 2 dimensional array we can always do like this:

int x[2][3] = {{1,2,3},{4,5,6 }}
but i do not know if it can be apply to my question

thanks in advance *sob*

You could create a static const char * array for each menu category, then use a for loop to populate them.

You should also be able to:
[code=cpp]
char breadmenu[breads][menumax+1] =
{"Parmasan","Gr alic","Black Papper","Almond "};
[/code]
