Dynamic wchar_t array (C++ beginner)

Question

I am modifying some C++ code that has a wchar_t myArray[MAX_PATH] in the header file.

My modifications mean that I cannot know the length of this array until runtime. How can I store an array of dynamic length instead? Maybe I just keep a wchar_t* in the header file and another int to hold its length?

Answer 1

Use std::wstring instead. It's a dynamic string containing wchar_t.
