Passing a string array to a function

How can I pass a string array like:

Code:

const char colors[] [*] = {"Red", "Green", "Blue"};

Into a function? How the syntax would be like?
How to access it inside the function?

Also, is there any way I can get the number of elements inside an array?
Thanks!

I tested the program shown below in MPLAB simulator and got the
following output. This was tested with PCH vs. 4.118.

Quote:

Red
Green
Blue

Code:

#include <18F452.h>
#device PASS_STRINGS=IN_RAM
#fuses XT,NOWDT,PUT,BROWNOUT,NOLVP
#use delay(clock=4000000)
#use rs232(baud=9600, xmit=PIN_C6, rcv=PIN_C7, ERRORS)

const char colors[] [*] = {"Red", "Green", "Blue"};

//======================================
void main(void)
{
int8 i;

for(i = 0; i < 3; i++)
printf("%s \r", colors[i]);

while(1);
}

I don't know how to get the number of elements from a 'const'
2-dimensional array in CCS. I don't know if it's possible.
