convert char* array to string array

[markman]

Im trying to convert the command line arguments to string form instead of char*, but it obviously isnt working since Im asking this question
Heres the code:

string* charstararray2stringarray(int args, char* argv[]);
int main(int args, char* argv[])
{
string* stringarray;
	stringarray = charstararray2stringarray(args,argv);
retrun 0;
}

string* charstararray2stringarray(int args, char* argv[])
{
    //converts char*[] to string[]
    //used for command line
    string* retVal;
    retVal = new string[args];
    for (unsigned int i = 0; i <= args; i++)
    {
	retVal[i] = (string)argv[i];
    }
    return *retVal;
    delete [] retVal;
}
