Any of you string/pointer/memory guru's out there who can help me?

Are all you guys masochists or something? Why subject yourself to the horrible pain of zero based character array manipulation when you could be using the standard C++ string class?

[Rick]

I dunno later on I want to but I think I'm to lazy to learn to use them and since I already use C strings... But I read some stuff about it and indeed its way simpeler. Especially I like the way you can use operators like == and += normaly. O well some day....

[botmeister]

Rick, there's not much to learn about the string class really. The on going productivity loss futzing around with c strings will never end, so investing a couple hours into learning how to use the string class is well worth it.

I'm still gonna stick to the character arrays, in spite of all this... yes.

I like to know where every single byte of memory goes to

That's not a drawback for me because my code is usually rather ANSI C than C++.

You could always write your own string class, there's not that much too it, esp if you just wrap the old C routines into it. But I hear you're not yet into C++?

"You could always write your own string class"

Exactly
