Two Questions With String

I'm using string.h and have two questions:

1) What would be the easies way to make an array of strings? Something like:

Code:

---

string mystring[] = "dude","what's","up"

---

Instead of declaring each of them one by one.

2) I've seen alot of examples of a Trim() function using a char array, but I haven't seen any for string. Does anybody have an example?

Thanks

Trim would look like this:
int first=s.find_first_not_of(32)
return s.substr(s,first,s.find_last_not_of(32)-first);
an array of strings
string x[10];
or a vector:
vector<string> x;

Thanks. I'll give it a try when I get home from work.:)
