Please quote the relevant part of any message you reply to. The OP was careful to call it 'malloc()'. Note that neither C nor C++ have 'commands', they have functions. > If it returns a pointer, it was successful, otherwise > it returns a Null. More precisely it returns a null pointer which will compare equal to the macro NULL (if a relevant header is included.) You still need to be careful allocating memory though. You may get false positives on lazy allocation operating systems that always return success. It's only when you try to access the allocated memory that it seg-faults. So, definitely check the return value, but don't go overboard with your allocations. -- Peter
