<pre>
someclass& operator <<(char *string)
{
...
}
someclass *object = new someclass;
object << "hello"; // error
// now when i want to use that, it should be this way,
*object << "hello";
</pre>

but i wouldn''t like it to be that way, ie, *object << "...";

thanks,

I don''t really see the problem. You want to do an operation on something that is pointed to, so you have to use *.

If you overload a free-standing binary operator, then one of the arguments must be of user-defined type. If you code this:
Then both operands are of pointer type, so it is not possible to overload.
someclass *object = new someclass;object << "hello"; Then both operands are of pointer type, so it is not possible to overload.
