Thread: Arrays, pointers and strings

Hi@all

I am writing a program about pointers and strings but I am stuck on part of it.

I am trying to read three words from a file. There is only one word in each line therefore I have three lines.

In this part, the program asks me store words in an array of pointers. The pointers are to be pointers to string objects.

Now, I am just trying trying to read words and print them. I think there is a logical problem because compiler says everything is ok.

Can you guys help me to figure out my problem?

thanks

My code;

Code:

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <fstream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
	string *pointer[3];

	string number;

	ifstream infile;

	infile.open("words.txt");

	for (int i=0; i<3; i++)
	{
		infile >> number;

		*pointer[i]=number;
	}

	for (int m=0; m<3; m++)
	
	cout <<*pointer[m]<<' ';
	
	cout <<endl;

	return 0;
}
