list <string> algorithms

[s]

I'm getting compile errors on the following code:

<code>
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <list>
#include <string>

using namespace std;

int main(void)
{
ifstream infile("expertonasia.txt", ios::in);
list <string> word_list;
list <string>::iterator word_list_it;
string word;
int word_count = 0;
bool found_match;

while(infile)
{
infile>>word;
word_list_it = word_list.find(word_list.begin(), word_list.end(),
word);
if( word_list_it != word_list.end() ) //new word
{
word_list.push_back(word);
}
}
infile.close();

//Any sorting?
word_list.sort(word_list.begin(), word_list.end());

}

</code
Produces the following compile errors:
<compile>
post.c++: In function `int main()':
post.c++:20: no matching function for call to `std::list<std::string,
std::allocator<std::string> >::find(std::_List_iterator<std::string,

std::list<_Tp,
_Alloc>::sort() [with _Tp = std::string, _Alloc =

</compile>

Can I use the find and sort algorithms on a list of string's???

Thanks,
Stephen

You appear to be confusing external algorithms (that is template
function's from <algorithm> ) and member function's.

Note that you can't use std::sort( begin, end ) an a list as it's
iterator's don't meet std::sort's requirments, hence the member
function sort() in std::list<>.

Rob took care of your syntax errors, so I'll fix one of your semantic errors:

word_list.sort(word_list.begin(), word_list.end());

}

find() returns container.end() when not found... you had the sense of the comparison backwards.
