Help on istream& operator ?

[tvn007]

Please help why this code not compile
I would like it to be something like this:
istringstream stringstreams(line);
stringstreams>>ptrstudent->bypassed>>ptrstudent->name>>ptrstudent->midterm;
stringstreams>>ptrstudent->quiz>>ptrstudent->final>>ptrstudent->testname;

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <fstream>
#include <sstream>
using namespace std;
const int MAX=50;
struct Record_info {
string bypassed;
string name;
int midterm;
double quiz;
double final;
string testname;
}student[MAX],*ptrstudent;

int main (void){
ptrstudent = student;
ifstream in ("test2.txt");
string line;
string line2;
char buffer[40];
while (getline(in,line)){
if (line.find("#")!=string::npos)continue ;
istream& operator >>(istream & is,prtstudent & r){
is>>r.bypassed>>r.name>>r.midterm,r.quiz,r.final,r .testname;}
ptrstudent++;
}
return 0;
}

Well, the compiler told you, in the error message. Please post it,
there are good reasons why the FAQ says you must do that.

Functions should be defined and used separately. It looks like you
don't
understand the difference, and you tried to put something that's
neither
a definition nor a call of operator>> inside main.

Try a simpler program first, defining and calling a function void
print_hello_world( )

HTH,

Start by getting a simplified skeleton to work first. Appropriate
formatting goes a long way to help you identify your individual
declarations.

// test2.txt
name_1
name_2
name_3

So your test.cpp file should look like this:

#include <iostream>
#include <ostream>
#include <string>
#include <fstream>

// Record type
struct Record_info
{
void set(std::string& s) { name = s; }
private:
std::string name;
/* Friend op>> */
friend std::ostream&
operator<<(std::ostream&, const Record_info&);
};

// global op<<
std::ostream& operator<<(std::ostream& os, const Record_info& r)
{
os << "name: " << r.name << "\n";
return os;
}

int main()
{
Record_info students[10];

// open file
std::ifstream in("test2.txt");
if( !in )
{
std::cout << "error while opening file.\n";
return 0;
}

// parse file
int count = 0;
std::string s;
while ( std::getline(in, s) )
{
students[count++].set(s);
}
if( !in.eof() ) // paranoia check, was the error *not* an eof
marker?
{
std::cout << "error while parsing file.\n";
return 0;
}

// display contents
std::cout << "number of students: " << count << "\n";
for (int i = 0; i < count; ++i)
{
std::cout << students[i];
}

return 0;
} // main()

/*
number of students: 3
name: name_1
name: name_2
name: name_3

*/
