one of the classic uses of pointers in the C language is to have arrays of pointers for string manipulation. because of the way C handles strings as arrays of characters you need this sort of dynamic array of arrays approach for this. this is one of the reasons i think everyone should learn C at least to the point where strings and arrays and pointers come together. it gives you a better understanding od programmming in general. every once in a while i quit learning C++ to rebuild and strengthen my mad crazy C $ki11Z dawg. w00t!
