So, what I want to do is go through an existing array and break the array into mini-arrays at any certain points (where the diff. in two bordering values are greater than 2000). I programmed it as a recursive function, but I need to store all these "mini-arrays" and be able to sort them easily by "mini-array". The problem with the array of arrays is I cannot get it to treat each row as an array. Maybe if you can help me there...
Also, if I am dynamically allocating my array of arrays, how can I find out later my index values? Thanks for the advice thus far.
