Hi,
I am a complete newbie, and have got a problem in using an array of character pointers.
When I run this piece of code:
char *record[3];
cout<<"Enter your name:";
cin.getline(*record,10);
cout<<*record;
Windows gives me an error in my program’s .exe file.
What’s wrong?
Thanks in Advance

you have forgotten to allocate any memory. There are several ways of doing it....
1) a 2d array..... char [3][255];
2) use new to allocate memory. remember to use delete to free it.
3) use malloc() to allocate memory. remember to use free() to free it.
For your code a 2d array would be easiest.
secondly you might want to read up on exactly how to use the dereference operator * because you have a few errors in syntax.
char * MyString="A string";
Mystring is the pointer.
*Mystring is the object pointed to. In this case "A string"
Free the weed!! Class B to class C is not good enough!!
