Thank you for your response, JaWib!

I am working through the text C++ Primer Plus (Stephen Prata), and wanted to use dynamically allocated memory to store the string in.

The reason why? Because I felt it would be the "right" way to do it (it just seems to be the "neatest" way).

So,...

I really screwed up when I put the line:

Code:
char * pt_line = new char;              // Get memory to put the string of text in.
in. hmmm...
I will have to look farther into how to dynamicallly allocate memory for a string in C++, then.

Thank you.
