Your expectations are unrealistic. No computer has an infinite amount of memory. The best you can do is allocate some finite space, process it, and then process the next portion of an infinite input.
Jim Mcnamara's code will allow you to declare arrays of variable size. I think you may be saying is that you don't know the amount of memory up front. If that is the case, you can allocate a reasonable amount of memory and try to reallocate (man realloc()) a larger chunk when you find you need more space.
