error: parse error before `(' token

[learning_C++]

Hi,
I try to use
input = new istrstream(argv[1],strlen(argv[1]));
in my code, but it always says error: " error: parse error before `('

please help me!

Hi,
I try to use
input = new istrstream(argv[1],strlen(argv[1]));
in my code, but it always says error: " error: parse error before `('

please help me!

Well one problem is that you have not included the correct header file

#include<strstream>

You might have others, I didn't check.

^^^^^^^^^^
the class is named istringstream

Kind regards,

Huh? istrstream is a perfectly good class. And judging by his usage he wants
istrstream not istringstream.

True, but deprecated.
