Hi Everybody,

I have succeeded in parsing the values I needed from a text file and storing them in an array. The script I've posted works as a function, but now I tried to put it in a class and I can't figure out how to define the constructor. The problem is that in the main, I get the name of the file via CIN:

cin.getline(input,20);

Could somebody explain me how to define the constructor for this example in a correct way?

Thanks in advance,

Kev

I believe that you did define a constructor. Please be more specific about your problem.

I believe that you did define a constructor. Please be more specific about your problem.

I get a lot of errors when compiling the code (errors in X.h file):

'fstream' is used as a type, but is not defined as a type.
'string' is used as a type, but is not defined as a type.
In constructor 'X::X(const std::string&)':
'text' undeclared
...

Change your pre-processors to this :

#include <fstream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;

The main thing you forgot was the using namespace std, in your code.
