pointers, dynamic arrays questions

[gongzhen]

Hi Everybody here. I am programming a calendar program using pointers and dynamic arrays. My input likes these:
1/1/2001 one
2/2/2002 two
3/3/2003 three
4/4/2004 four

My output should like these:
1/1/2001 one
2/2/2002 two
3/3/2003 three
4/4/2004 four
and also I will sort the date after I finish all input. It is my later job.
My question is
[1] how to read the slash '/';
[2] how to change an line if I done the each line's input.
[3] and also please give me any advices about my calendar programming.
My code likes this:

#include <iostream>
#include "event.h"

using namespace std;

int main()
{
	int m_day;
	int m_month;
	int m_year;
	string m_activity;
	char slash =' \ ';
	int size=0;
	cout<<"welcome to Project 2: Calendar."<<endl;
	
	const int max = 100;
	Event *events[size];
	while (size<100)
	{
		events[size] = new Event;
		cin>>m_month>>m_day>my_year
		size++;
		
	}
	date.print();
	return 0;
}

#ifndef EVENT_H
#define EVENT_H
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

class Event
{
	public:
		Event(int newMonth, int newDay, int newYear, string newActivity);
		Event();
		~Event();
		void print();
	
		int getMonth(){return month;}
		int getDay(){return day;}
		int getYear(){return year;}
		string getActivity(){return activity;}
		
		void setMonth(int newMonth){month = newMonth;}
		void setDay(int newDay){day = newDay;}
		void setYear(int newYear){year = newYear;}
		void setActivity(string newActivity){activity = newActivity;}
		
	private:
		int month;
		int day;
		int year;
		string activity;
};

#endif 

#include <iostream>
#include "event.h"
using namespace std;

Event::Event(int newMonth, int newDay, int newYear, string newActivity )
{
	month = newMonth;
	day = newDay;
	year = newYear;
	activity = newActivity;
}

Event::Event()
{
	month = 0;
	day = 0;
	year = 1900;
	activity = "  ";
}

Event ::~Event()
{
	cout<<"destructor called"<<endl;
}

void Event::print()
{
	cout<<"month"<<month<<endl;
	cout<<"day"<<day<<endl;
	cout<<"year"<<year<<endl;
	cout<<"activity"<<activity<<endl;
}

To read you could use scanf
char slash =' \ '; What character is that? If you want a backlash you need to escape it (with a backslash)'\\'

int size[0];
Event *events[size];//ISO C++ forbids zero-size array 

events[size] = new Event; Why pointers? why dynamic allocation? Just use objects.

If you aren't going to validate the setters just make the attributes public

Thanks. But I know I can use object. But I wanna practice using pointer. It will be better for me to learn other data structure. thanks
