how to delete string variables

I've tried using delete[] but my MSVC6 compiler says it's not a pointer. Is there another solution to delete string variables (let's say using string.h).

You only need to use delete if you have defined your string var. as a dynamic pointer.

eg.

Code:

---


string *myStringOne;
string *myStringTwo;

myStringOne = new string;
myStringTwo = new string[999];

// deleting at a  later stage

delete myStringOne;
delete [] myStringTwo;

---

by the sounds of it you haven't, so remove the delete code.
