i want to clear a string after the prog. has done it`s work.
i tried it by using a for loop and assigning a blank, but it didn`t work.
the problem is that if i run the program again then the earlier value is displayed again .
i`m using Turbo c++.

Assign the first element a '\0'. If you're a masochist, use memset on the whole char array.

char array="food";
You can use delete[]array to clear the memory

No you can't. You can only 'delete' or 'free' dynamically allocated memory. Plus the above statement won't compile. Go figure.
