Hi can any one expalin me this piece of code
In this code line is used for taking the input stream as line input stream.
Please explain me Can I use getline() instead of line.
When I am using the above code I am fetting errors like
line undeclared.

Please help me to resolve my problem


void get_name_token ( strstream &line, ostrstream & output )
{
// Set line stream for input operations.

line.setf(ios::in);

// "Stop" is the char that immediately follows an extracted token
// part in the input stream. If "Stop" is a tab, newline, or EOF
// character, it indicates the end of a token. I give "Stop" an
// arbitrary initial value that is definitely not a delimiter.

char Stop = 'a';

// Eat leading white space and check "Stop" for end of token.
// Quit loop when "Stop" signals the end of a token.

while ( line >> ws , (Stop != '\t' && Stop != '\n' && Stop != EOF ))
{
line.get ( *output.rdbuf(), ' ' ); // get next token part.

Stop = (char)line.peek(); // Check next char for end of token

if ( Stop == ' ' )
{
// Might be end of token or just an embedded space.
// get the "Stop" character to advance the streambuf ptr.

line.get ( Stop );

// If the next character is a space then its the end of the
// token, so we set Stop to EOF to break the while loop.

If you post the code using code tags, it will be easier to read it

Hi when I am using this code in my program I am getting the following errors

these are the errors

suggest me the modifications that should be made in this code

Thank you in advance
