Hi all,
I have an array that I don't know the size requirement until run-time.
The way I handle this is:
int* piMyData;
piMyData = (int*)LocalAlloc(LPTR, sizeof(int)*iDataCount); //MS-specific
I also have a 2D char array that I don't know the size requirement until
run-time. Is there a similar method for handling this?

Best wishes,
Allen

Use a vector of vectors.

Remember that you are posting to a "C++" newsgroup, not "C":
piMyData = static_cast<int*>(LocalAlloc(LPTR, sizeof(int)*iDataCount));

Do you mean similar in terms of using native win32 (non standard) methods?
That is off topic here. There is a simple way that many novices use to
figure out the total size of any array (though it is frowned upon):
size_t size = sizeof(array[0][0]) * sizeof(array);

Hi Greg,
No, I'm not trying to determine the size. Also, I'm using a very old
compiler that doesn't have vectors and besides, I don't have any experience
using the STL.
I'm looking for a method similar to the first one I gave to create
storage for a 2D array that I don't know the size of until run-time (at
which time, I do).
In the first example, I get iDataCount and create an array at piMyData.
Then, I can:
piMyData[i] = iSomeInt;
I want to get iXCount and iYCount and create a 2D array that I can
access:
pszMyData[x][y] = "a";

If you don't want to use a vector of vectors, then you'll have to use
dynamic memory allocation with 'new'. This is covered in section 16.15 of
the FAQ at <http://www.parashift.com/c++-faq-lite/>.

question 16.15. You should be able to translate the use of new to
LocalAlloc, or better still drop LocalAlloc and use new instead. Every C++
compiler ever invented must have new, surely.

Why not use:
{

int size_piMyData = my_array_has_this_many_elements;

Sounds like a good time to get a new compiler.
and besides, I don't have any experience using the STL.
Sounds like a good time to learn.
Ask in a C++ group, get a C++ answer. Use vector. It's infinitely
superior to anything you are likely to come up with.
