char array index position

Hi all.

Im trying to take inputs of a user and enter them into a char array in a loop.


for(count=1; count<=amount;count++)
{ cout<<"\n enter string.. \n";
cin.getline(user_input,100);
}

then I want to increment the array by 1 so that the user can input another string which can be stored in the next position of the array.

my problem is doing this with the cin.getline function.

can i do this without a 2d array, (i have been told i can)
and could someone help me with the code.

I also have no idea how to output that array again.
hope thats clear.

cheers Dirk

it looks like you're using c++ and you're wondering if you can do it without a 2d array so why not use strings (or a 1d array of strings)?




just include <string> and you can use them they are fantastic. By the way, I would also use a vector of strings instead of an array so that you don't have to worry about overflowing the array.

Thanks for that I ended up solving it using a 2d array but your way looks a hell of allot simpler (cheers)
