    heres an example code that causes this error:

    <code>
    string strng[5];
    char arry[5];

    strng[2] = "Howdy";

    arry = strng[2];

    cout << arry;
    </code>

    You need to put a number by arry, eg:

    Code:
    arry[2]=strng[2];

    Or if strng is an array of strings,

    Code:
    strcpy( array, strng[2] );

    how's that supposed to work?

    i tried it and it said
    "could not find a match for 'strcpy(char *, string)'"
