SMS-Based LED Matrix Display.

CrossRoads:
Nope, that's beyond my programming skills. I'm still working on pointers into a single array.
Maybe just have 1 array and different sets of pointers into it?

some one from the programming forums gave me some advice. i would use string dump and use a pointer array. I made a test sketch and I did it! Here's what i made:

#include <SIM900.h>
#include <sms.h>
#include <SoftwareSerial.h>

char smsdata[160];
char numberRx[20];
int i = 0;
int x = -1;
char *inbox[5];
boolean MSG_RCVD = false;

void setup()
{
  Serial.begin(9600);
  gsm.begin(4800);
}

void loop()
{
  checkSMS();
}

void checkSMS()
{
  if(gsm.readSMS(smsdata, 160, numberRx, 20))
  {
    Serial.print("SMS Recieved: ");
    while (smsdata[i+1] != '\0')
    {
      Serial.print(smsdata[i]);
      i++;
    }
    i = 0;
    x++;
    Serial.println("");
    store();
  }
  else
  {
    Serial.println("No Messages");
  }
}

void store()
{
  int y;
  inbox[x] = strdup(smsdata);
  Serial.print("Inbox 1: ");
  Serial.println(inbox[0]);
  Serial.print("Inbox 2: ");
  Serial.println(inbox[1]);
  Serial.print("Inbox 3: ");
  Serial.println(inbox[2]);
  Serial.print("Inbox 4: ");
  Serial.println(inbox[3]);
  Serial.print("Inbox 5: ");
  Serial.println(inbox[4]);
  Serial.print("Inbox 6: ");
  Serial.println(inbox[5]);


  Serial.println("");
  
  if (x > 5)
  {
    x = 0;
  }
  MSG_RCVD = false;
}

it stores the text messages in inbox array, and i'll apply this in the LED MATRIX+GSM code. I'll post the code after running some tests.

thanks again!
