For loop scope

[flyvin]

Is there anyway of getting around the for loop scope without making the variable global?

If you want a variable to be accesible outside of a for loop, then declare it outside of the for loop. It doesn't have to be global. It's local to the function that the for loop is in.

Oh, I thought I tried that once. oh well, thanks!

In C89 you have no choice, the loop variable has to be declared outside the loop. C99 added an option to localize the declaration to just the loop. I don't know that capabilities C++ has in that regard.
