This doesn''t work:
char[5] GetString(){ char str[5] = "hello"; return str;} How would I write a function that would return a string?
char* GetString(){ char str* = strdup("hello"); return str;}
there isnt any way to maintain the integrity of an arrays size, at compile time, without actually stating it.
so you may need to pass a byref length argument.
void getArray(char str[], int &length);
often, a string will be NULL terminated, meaning the last character in it is 0.
void getArray(char zStr[]);
if you want to return an array, then you use char*
char* getArray();

If you''re not adverse to c++ and the stl:
#include <string>using std::string;string GetString(){ string str="hello"; return str;}

Thanks guys, that helps a lot. Soon after I posted I realized I would need to use a pointer. But Sjelkjd''s info on the string class in C++ will be something I''ll have to check out.
