The only caveat to this, is be careful if you are using this in any loop intensive code that needs to be fast. A number of the C++ implementations of the string class are dog slow. If you're using this for interface code that doesn't need to be all that fast then I think using a string is definitely the way to go. Otherwise, you may want to time things using a good profiler, and make your decision based on the results. Oh, and to answer your original question use <cstring>. regards, --tom
