RE: Example needed: Character String as a tree branch

OK, adding a character string leaf worked out fine. But can one add an array of character strings?

The following code compiles and runs, but does not fill the array into the leaf:

char v1secPartName[100][20];
...
tree->Branch("v1nsec",&v1nsec,"v1nsec/I"); tree->Branch("v1secPartName",v1secPartName,"v1secPartName[v1nsec]/C"); ...
snprintf(v1secPartName[v1nsec],20,"%s%s(%i)\0",PartName.data(),sign[pCharge+2],pdg); ...
tree->Fill();

After execution the leaf is simply empty.

Thanks for your consideration,
Stefan.
