[abbynormal87]

i'm haveing trouble with my program:

for ( int i = 0; i < divmax; i++ )
{
strcpy ( names[i], name[i] );
}

does anyone know why this doesnt work?? I get an error of :
cpp(66) : error C2664: 'strcpy' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'class std::basic_string<char,struct std::char_traits<char>,class std::allocator<char> >' to 'char *'

please help me out
thanks

and why don't you just do it this way

for (int i=0;i<divmax;i++)
  names[i]=name[i];

For single chars and chars in arrays you can use the = operator
