Hey guys, i have a newbie question.
I want some information about the following code, (especially the "*") part. What does this code?
--
char* cFilename;
---
this is just an array of char? (like a string in VB?)
and this?
---
char **filelist = (char**)malloc(numFiles*sizeof(char*));
---
it creates a pointer-array of type char containing (numFiles*sizeof(char*)) pointers to a char?
This is not a joke, just want to understand what the code does
Thanx in advance, maybe an URL where to read this newbie stuff?
..like a string but it doesn''t do anything with it. cFilename is invalid(NOT empty) until you allocate some space for it (cFilename = new char[256]
