C++ Array...

[sumsumin]

I'm very new to C++.

I have the following string (called 'names'): "Cameron;Keremy;Jyle;Tyson;".

How do I turn this into an Array?
names[0] would be Cameron, names[1] would be Keremy, etc.?




I really would appreciate some help with this please!

Show some code and we can give a better answer than just guessing.

Try vector<string>
Then use the push_back() method of vector to add strings to it, size() to see how many strings are in it, and you can access each string just like an array (with the var[n] format).
