I was able to get it to work, however is this the right way?

#include <iostream.h>
void test( char ** fillMe)
{
		*fillMe = new char[10];
		memset( *fillMe, '\0', 10 );
		strcpy( *fillMe, "TESTING" );
}
int main()
{
		char * tester=NULL;
		test( &tester );
		if ( tester == NULL )
		{
				cout<< "tester is null"<<endl;
		}
		else
				cout<<tester<<endl;
		if ( tester !=NULL )
				delete [] tester;
 
 
}

Result:
./Test
TESTING
