How to access an Array and a struct within a struct wrapped by Swig ?

[Anish Chapagain]

Hi,
If you have struct defined in .h file then it's ok or can dea easyily
with struct written with .i file,
in .h file,
     struct def
            {
             int a;
            char name[10];
            };
can be referenced as
                              >>strvar=new_def() //now strvar is your
object for struct def
                              and can access a and name as, get and
set for individual member see,
                             >>def_a_set(strvar,10)
                             >>def_a_get(strvar) will return 10.
or you can define struct as,

typedef struct
{
int sage;
}coll;
within .h file and access similarly.
