Why delete operator crashes

[Nemo]

Hello Folks,
I need to manipulate a list of char strings as follows, but when I want to
delete the pointer created with new at the end, delete operator crashes, any
idea?

char* list[2000];
while(...)
{
list[MyCounter] = new char [Stringlength];
strncpy(list[MyCounter], c_TempFilename, Stringlength);
list[MyCounter][Stringlength] = '\0';
MyCounter++;
}

for (i=0; i<MyCounter;i++ )
{
delete [] list[i];
}

Thanks Everybody in advance.

You question belongs to C++-related group. Try comp.lang.c++. This is a C group.
There's no "delete operator" in C.

C has no delete operator. You are looking for comp.lang.c++.

I think that's c++.

news:comp.lang. c++

Sorry, but you have the wrong language. Your code is not C (the topic of the
comp.lang.c newsgroup), and appears to be C++ (or perhaps C#)

You've got the wrong room. comp.lang.c++ is down the hall, the 2nd door on the
right (just past the watercooler).

OK, OK, Sorry, I did not know new and delete do not exist in C.

The "new" operator in[color=blue]
> list[MyCounter] = new char [Stringlength];[/color]
and the "delete[]" operator in[color=blue]
> delete [] list[i];[/color]
are syntax errors in C.
You seem to have a question about a different programming language,
probably the one with the newsgroup <news:comp.lang .c++>.

1. Don't top-post. Your replies belong following or interspersed with
properly trimmed quotes.

2. Get a C textbook. K&R2 is often recommended, there are others.
