I have this a class called PPString:

PPString.h

#ifndef __CPP_PPString
#define __CPP_PPString

#include "PPObject.h"

class PPString : public PPObject {
    char *stringValue[];
public:
    char *pointerToCharString();
    void setCharString(char *charString[]);
    void setCharString(const char charString[]);
};

#endif

PPString.cpp

#include "PPString.h"

char *PPString::pointerToCharString() {
    return *stringValue;
}

void PPString::setCharString(char *charString[]) {
    *stringValue = *charString;
}

void PPString::setCharString(const char charString[]) {
    *stringValue = (char *)charString;
}

I'm trying to set the stringValue using std::cin:

main.cpp

PPString myString;
myString.setCharString("LOLZ");
std::cout << myString.pointerToCharString() << std::endl;

char *aa[1000];
std::cin >> *aa;
myString.setCharString(aa);
std::cout << myString.pointerToCharString() << std::endl;

The first one, which uses a const char works, but the second one, with a char doesn't, and I get this output:

copy and paste from STDOUT

LOLZ
im entering a string now...
Bus error

where the second line is what I entered, followed by pressing the return key.

Can anyone help me fixing this? Thanks...
