Reading strings (char**) from a dll

[Nishchey]

Hi,
I have a dll with a function in which one of its parameters is an array of strings (char**). How can I call this function and assign the string output to a 1-d string array in LV? I would appreciate it if someone could attach a sample code. I know that someone had asked the similar question in the Discussion Forums however the answer did not help me.
I appreciate your help.
Thanks

If the array is contiguous in memory, then pass it into LabVIEW as a 2-D byte array and then type cast it to a string. If the memory is not contiguous, then you will have to make it so or pass each of the stings individually. LabVIEW stores all arrays contiguously.
