C++ :: Creating Inventory - Array With More Than 1 String?

How would i do this? Im trying to create an inventory but this just will not work, when i do it how i have it originally (as shown below):

cout << "Do you have weapons and armor?: ";
cin >> yEquip;
if (yEquip == 'y') {
cout << endl;
string invintory2[6] =

[Code] ....

the program outputs this:

cout << "Do you have weapons and armor?: ";
cin >> yEquip;
if (yEquip == 'y'){
cout << endl;
string invintory1[6];
[Code] ....

however programing it like this seems very... time consuming.

my other arrays (normal ones that just hold a set of int's) look like this:

int *player[] = {&yhp,&ymp,&ypatk,&ymatk,&yratk,&ypdef,&ymdef,&yrdef,&ydb,&yacc,&ycr,&yas};

Is there any way to do a string array in this way?
