You can't have non constant elements in struct initialisers, testy is not a constant. The error message spells out exactly what the issue is. This is not, by the way, an NSString specific issue. The following gives the same error typedef struct Foo { int foo; } Foo; int anInt = 6; Foo fooArray[] = {{ anInt }}; Use of the "const" keyword doesn't help. > > > John Love > Touch the Future!
