Hello boys n girls! Quick question: How do I use strings in structures? This: struct hello{ string HeyDude; }; Doesn't work.. Bye for now! The way to the right path is through pain, sweat and tears. [edited by - rimrok on April 14, 2002 2:20:36 PM]

Doesn''t work..

That''s nice. Now tell use why it doesn''t work. Are you sure it knows (through a using directive somewhere) that you want std::string and not just string? Are you including the string header at all?

You need to put the following at the top of each file wherever you are declaring a string.

using namespace std;

Also be sure you include &ltiostream> NOT &ltiostream.h&gt. Also include &ltstring> NOT &ltstring.h&gt.


For Example:



Hope this helps.


P.S. Thanks Oluseyi for the help with HTML

He meant "include <iostream> and not <iostream.h>"

Also, do NOT put using namespace std; in a header file, but there, write fully qualified names (i.e. std::string), because the whole purpose of namespaces are to avoid name collisions. If you put the using declaration in the header, anybody who uses your header will have the whole std namespace imported in the global namespace, whether they want it or not.

And that is bad.

Nice.. Thank you!

Null and Void:
I'm sorry, I'll try to be more specific next time..
As for now, I think aNonamuss caught the source of my problem anyway..

Damn you guys are fast to reply!

Yea,

Fruny is right. That is what I meant. How do I put those symbols in Fruny? I read the FAQ, but it didn''t mention anything about using angle brackets.

Thanks

Strings are resources!


////////////////////////////// .rc file//////////////////////////
STRINGTABLE
{
ID_STRING1, "string 1"

}

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

///////////////////////// load string//////////////////////////

char load_string[80]

LoadString(hinstance, ID_STRING1, load_string,80))

It is an HTML issue, not a forum issue. You need to write &lt; or &gt;

How do I put those symbols in...?

You''ll have to use HTML, because the board interprets a less-than symbol directly followed by non-whitespace as an attept at an HTML tag. Use &lt; for less-than, and optionally &gt; for greater than. How did I type an ampersand? &amp;

Thanks to Kylotan for the idea!
