Thank you for replying so quickly!
When I do not know the maximum size of the strings, it just seems like a waste of time to first count the letters then to malloc sufficiant space for the string.
But then again, I guess one gets better contol over the program?
What actually happens if I don't malloc space for the strings, (in the situation as mentioned in my previous post), and the strings that the array points to change all the time. What about the space the old strings occupy, will that automaticly be free space, or will it be occupied until the program terminates?
Thanks a million for your answer!
