hi,
Try something like this, just add some pointers;
scan is just a simple object and l is a class vector.

This is something like I meant when I said do it the C++ way, or the C way. Except that I gave a bad example of the C way, this is a better example, which is of a C++ way. It would help if I knew the C++ iostream stuff better. If this weren't so darned OT, I'd ask what a "scan" is.
(And is also an example of something that is wrong with the C++ standard library, when you need the c_str() member of string so often to get any real useful work done. Kind of defeats the purpose of having string in the first place.)
