telephone string

my code is supposed to take a phone# as a string in (555) 555-5555 type of form using a strotk to take out the area code as a token, the 1st 3 digigts as another token, the last 4 as another token the 7 digits should be concatenated into 1 string it sould alos convert the area code string to an int and the phone # to a long and print the number
and it should be looped 3 times here is the code what is wrong with this stuoid thing:

#include "stdafx.h"
#include <cstring>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{ char *phone[15];
char *area[7];
char *num[10];
int areaCode;
char* tokenPtr;
long int pnum;
for (int i=0; i<3; i++){
cout<<"Enter a phone number[(###) ###-####]: ";
cin.getline(phone,15);
strtok(num, "()");
areaCode=atoi(area);
strtok(NULL, "-");
strcpy(num,phone);
strtok(NULL, "");
strcat(phone,num0);
pnum=atol(phone);
cout<<area<<num;}
return 0;
}

I take it you use MSVC++?
This should work, but I'm not able to test it at the moment so you're on your own for debugging.

Code:

#include "stdafx.h"
#include <cstring>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main(){ 
	char phone[15]; char area[7]; char num[10]; char* tokenPtr;
	int areaCode;
	long int pnum;

 	cout << "Enter a phone number [(###) ###-####]: ";
	cin.getline(phone, 15);
	tokenPtr = strtok(phone, "()- ");
	area = tokenPtr; areaCode = atoi(area);

	for(int i = 0; i < 3; i++){
		tokenPtr = strtok(NULL, "()- ");
		strcat(num, tokenPtr);
	}
	cout << areaCode << atol(num) << endl;
	return 0;
}

it did help but i still have aproblem w/
area = tokenPtr;

it says
error C2440: '=' : cannot convert from 'char *' to 'char [7]'
There are no conversions to array types, although there are conversions to references or pointers to arrays
Error executing cl.exe.

strtok returns a char * which is different from a char [] although both can be used to represent a string. The compiler says it can't find a prototype to convert the rhs to the left. I would try using strcpy() instead of assignment operator =;

strcpy(area, tokenPtr);
