Thread: return character arrays

I've been learning C++ for the past few days, and I'm trying to write my own string and StringTokenizer class in order to better understand chars and char arrays (that is why I am not using the predefined string class).

I can't seem to return this character array from this part of my StringTokenizer class ... can someone help me? Maybe I just don't know the syntax...

Code:

char StringTokenizerC::nextToken()
{
	m_position++;
	int j = 0;
	int p = 0;
	int start = 0;
	char* token = new char[MAXLINE];
	RVString rvs(m_string);
	int begin = 0;
	for(int i = 0; i < m_position; i++) {
	start = rvs.find_first_of(m_string, "\0", begin);
	begin = start + 1;
	}
	int end = rvs.find_first_of(m_string, "\0", begin + 1);
	for(j = start, p = 0; p < (end - start); j++, p++) {
		token[p] = m_string[j];									//Adds the characters to the string from the start and end points
	}
	return token;
}
