how could I resize an array

[Guest_imported]

How could I possibly resize an array in Visual C++? I don't need to keep the data, I just need to resize a 2-D array, thanks for the help

You can use STL data structures such as 'vetor' or 'set'
#include <vector> or #include <set>
Read documentation in MSDN (Also on microsoft's site)
These are very easy to use and can be sorted by inner methods.

or you could do a wasteful, but easier to follow way such as

char* array1 = new char[size];
.
.


char* array2 = new char[size2]

for (int i = 0; i < sizeof(array1); i++)
array2 = array1;

delete[] array1;

(ie create a new array of whatever size, copy, delete the old one)

Sorry, for some reason the indexes didn't show up,


its supposed to be

array2 = array1;

#include<stdlib.h> and use realloc John Fill
