    Hi, In the following code,i have assigned a value "test" to c variable. I have assigned the variable c to sz123. If i copied another value to c,the already assigend value in sz123[0] is getting overide. Can anyone please help me how to avoid this one? LPSTR sz123[10]; char c[20] = "test"; sz123[0] = (LPSTR)c; strcpy(c,"123"); thanks,

    sz123[0] = _strdup(c);
    //...
    free(sz123[0]);

      Is it possible to use the globally declared LPSTR variable in other class by using extern function?

        You're mixing a bit different domains here. If the variable is global then you may use it everywhere (don't forget to call free when you no longer need the string). :)

          No,I am not able to use the globally declared sz123[0] variable in another class: In class1: LPSTR sz123[10]; char c[20] = "test"; sz123[0] = (LPSTR)malloc(sizeof(c[0]) * (strlen(c) + 1)); strcpy(sz123[0], c); In class2: extern LPSTR sz123[10]; char ch1[20]; strcpy(ch1,sz123[0]); It is showing the following error "error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "char * * sz123":

              You must be precise. A global variable cannot be declared inside a class (it wouldn't be global). So what do you intend to do? Do you want to use a global variable? Do you want to make an object's member variable available to objects of different classes? :)

                Of course. The static qualifier, for varibles declared outside classes, makes the variables themselves having file-scope. :)

                    And what's your problem? For instance:

                    // global.cpp
                    int global_counter=0;

                    and

                    // source.cpp
                    extern int global_counter;

                    void show_counter()
                    {
                    cout << global_counter << endl;
                    }

                        You need to declare it extern in all modules, and initialize it in only one.

                        It's time for a new signature.
