Function templates and sorting words

[teddarr]

I have this assignment where I am to create 3, 100 position arrays, 1 integer, 1 float, and 1 of quotes. Then I am to use a generic type function template to sort the integers into ascending order, same with the floats, and sort the words into order.

I've got the ints and floats working fine but the words ain't going so well. I am getting an error message that reads " error C2679: binary '>>' : no operator found which takes a right-hand operand of type 'std::string' (or there is no acceptable conversion)

Here's the code for the words I am trying to sort:

        //string array declaration
    filein.open("QUOTES.DAT");  //open string filein
    string sArray[100];             //declare string array
    int NumS =     89;        //variable for size of string array
 
    for(int k = 0; k < NumS; k++)    //load string array
        filein>>sArray[k];    
 
    cout<<"\n\nThe original word values:\n";
    display(sArray, NumS);
    sort(sArray, NumS);
    cout<<"\n\nThe sorted word values:\n";
    display(sArray, NumS);
    cout<<endl<<endl;
    filein.close();
    filein.clear();

Any ideas?

I can supply more code if need be.

Thanks

This error:

" error C2679: binary '>>' : no operator found which takes a right-hand operand of type 'std::string' (or there is no acceptable conversion)

means the compiler could not find the string::operator>> function so:

filein>>sArray[k];

can't compile.

Probably you have not:

#include <string>

in your program.

yep that was it.

I'm kinda embarrassed by that one. I've been doing this long enough now, I should have remembered that.

My brain was telling me it was something more complex than that.

Thanks for the help.
