Hi! I'm getting this error when compiling:

{
	os << name.myWord << " ";

}

What am I doing wrong? ='( I've literally looked at this for three hours. HELP! =) Thanks.

i am not sure but it might be
friend ostream& operator<< (ostream &, const GrabStuff&);
needs a space between operator and <<
so it would be
friend ostream& operator << (ostream &, const GrabStuff&);

That is not an issue. I dont know why that error is coming though but I have tested it without space and works fine.


Error 2>

ostream& operator<< (ostream &os, const GrabStuff &name)
{
	os << name.myWord << " ";
	while (!myLineNumbers.isEmpty()) /*IN THIS LINE*******/
	{
		// blahblah		
	}
	return os;
}

Should have done

while (!name.myLineNumbers.isEmpty())
