Hello,

I am using visual c++ 6 and i am having problems with string to work.

// This program just inverts the tickers.csv files execpt first line
int main(){

string ticker ;

return 0;
}

Hello,

I am using visual c++ 6 and i am having problems with string to work.

******** Here is the program project.cpp********* #include <iostream.h>
No such header in standard C++. The header which
declares the standard streams is <iostream> (no .h)
You're not using anything from it anyway, so you
can simply omit this line.
#include <string>
#include "stdafx.h"
A Microsoft specific header, not part of standard C++.
The code you've posted doesn't need it anyway, so
you can omit this line.
// This program just inverts the tickers.csv files execpt first line
Looks to me like all it does (tries to do) is define a string
object, then terminate.
int main(){

string ticker ;
std::string ticker;

return 0;
}
Applying changes I point out, we get:

#include <string>

int main()
{
std::string ticker;
return 0;
}

which will successfully compile without a diagnostic
on a compliant implementation, as well as with VC++ v6.0

thanx

It works fine now. i have another problem using vector<string>

#include "stdafx.h"
#include <fstream>
//#include <ofstream.h>
#include <string>
#include <vector>

using namespace std;

// This program just inverts the tickers.csv files execpt first line
int main(){
//string ticker, line;
//string input,output;
//ifstream Tickers( "tickers.txt", ios::in);
//ifstream Input_File;
//ofstream Output_File;
vector<string> temp;
/*
while(Tickers>>ticker){
input = "tempdata/" + ticker + ".csv";
output = "tempdata/" + ticker + "1.csv";
Input_File.open( input.c_str(), ios::in);
Output_File.open ( output.c_str(), ios::app);
while ( Input_File >> line ){
temp.push_back(line);
}
Output_File << temp[0] << endl;
for ( unsigned i = ( temp.size() - 1 ); i > 0; i--)
Output_File << temp[i] << endl;
temp.clear();
Input_File.close();
Output_File.close();

}
*/

return 0;
}
Here effectively i just have vector<string> temp in main, everything
else is commented.

If i compile this program i get following warnings

how can i get rid of these ?

Also if i remove all the comments, i have problems with temp.clear()

All this program is doing is inverting about 40 files, whose names are
in tickers.txt.

thank you in advance.

u can do it as following, bcoz not namespace:):
....
#include <string>
....
using namespace std;

void fun()

std::string str;
}

These can be safely ignored. If you want to hide them look in the MS
documentation for the #pragma method to do this. #pragma is not part of
standard C++, so any detailed questions about this should be directed to a
MS specific newsgroup.
Also if i remove all the comments, i have problems with temp.clear()


What problems exactly.

This is a problem with VC. You need to include

#pragma warning(disable: 4786)

at the top of the relevant header files. If there are many then do it in stdafx.h

Cheers,
