Group,
I have tried pointers, created dynamic memory, and every conceivable variation I could find or think of. The problem seems to stem from arrays have to be created with a constant. Since I am reading the array size from a file into a variable, the variable can not be a constant. Pointers work with a one dimensional array, but I can not get them to work with 2.

What have you tried so far? What language?
