clearing an array

[SteveCRM]

how do I clear an array of characters?

Put 0 in the first position if array is constant or call delete[] if allocated. John Fill

I have always used memset

Example

char myArray[256];
... // some code that fills the array

// here is how i empty it
memset(myArray,0,sizeof(myArray));

the "0" in memset is what I am setting every character in the array to so if you wanted to put something else in there, such as all one letter, use the ascii equivalent

Why set all characters to 0? Too much to work. John Fill
