    Hello again,

    Thanks for that link Salem, I read it thoroughly but, while it did help me a bit, a lot of it was over my head.

    I spent a few hours going through any man pages that Salem mentioned...

    DAMMIT! Yet again my teacher has let me down. I am really not happy with him at all.

    Ahhh, cool! I didn't know that you could do that. I'm guessing that the compiler(?) just makes the array big enough to accept the data no matter how many characters it is? Correct?

    If so, that is...

    Is that a good idea? As far as I am aware, conio.h is not a standard C header file. It works under some Windows systems/compilers (Borland I think and maybe some others), but I don't think it is...

    Yeah sorry about that, he deleted all his posts afterwards. I decided in the end that it wasn't worth responding.

    Then why did you suggest I should delete mine as well? There would have been no record at all then.
