In C++, use strings. Sorry, I don't know C if that's what you mean. It might be the same though.

#include <string>

string array[5];

use a multi-demensional array, each array will then be it's own array that will hold the word, ie:
Code:
char words[3][10];
strcpy(words[0],"one");
strcpy(words[1],"two");

Question
Hey!

Im supposed to do this:

input the information of 10 employees:
Steve
John
Michael
Susan
Taylor
.
.
.


So basically, the user should enter 10 names, and im suposed to put each of these names in
one element of an array each.

So when i refer to a[0], I'd be refering to Steve.

for ( int i=0; i < 10; i++)
cin >> a[i];

This doesn't work!!

HELP!

Code:
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
char names[10][100];

for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
{
cout << "Please enter a name (not more than 99 letters long and no spaces): ";
cin >> names[i];
}

return 0;
}

That should work. If you want to be able to have spaces in the names then instead of
Code:
cin >> names[i];

use
Code:
cin.getline(names[i], 99);

This doesn't solve my problem
, bcz after the user unput 10 names
I shoud ask him about the name he's searching for
then I'll output the information about this name,

then I shoud use ( strcmp )

But there doesn't seem you have a complete problem. Your initial problem statement says that you wanted to read 10 names, now that's done.

After getting all the names, all you have to do is read an input from the user in another 2-D variable (this time only char[1][255]) and then use the strcmp (or much better _stricmp() to avoid the case sensitiveness).

just to clarify, riv_rnjn: char[1][255] is the same as char[255]
