I'd like to know how to save an input of words in a char array, but we don't know beforehand the number of characters we need to save.

Can you use C++ instead? Because the C++ string class provides much better string operations than that of C, and can hold trings of an arbitrary length.

Got it, thanks.

If you want to use C++ then visit our sister-site DaniWeb. There is a little code snippet called "Playing around with std::string" that gives you some insight into C++ string. Look at:
