any hints would help

[sromano]

 vector<Log_Entry> parse(string);

This function should do the following:

* Open a log file specified by the parameter name (File I/O).
* Read lines from the opened file.
* Create a Log_Entry object passing the line just input.
* Push each List_Entry object onto a vector.
* Return the vector of Log_Entrys.

so far I have got

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <vector>
#include <fstream>
#include "log_view.h"
 
int main();
 
 
std::vector<Log_Entry> parse(string file)
{
 
}

first i recommend doing some research on file I/O. There is an article in the articles section on this website. There are also TONS of examples from your favorite c++ resource. I then would define your log file structure and attempt your homework assignment. Then if you encounter errors or problems come back and post them and we will be more than willing to help.

I really appreciate this after reading some thing about file I/O, I have gotten to this point but I got errors after defining the structure.

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <vector>
#include <fstream>
#include "log_view.h"
 
int main();
 
std::vector<string> split (const string&, char)
{}
std::vector<Log_Entry> parse(string file)
{
  string in_file_name("log_small.txt");
  std::ifstream in(in_file_name.c_str());
 
 
}

string in_file_name("log_small.txt");
std::ifstream in(in_file_name.c_str());


}

main() does not have a body!

Also, your functions shoukd return references to a vector rather than a vector. Otherwise, to do the return a copy of the entire vector will need ot be made just to do the return.

A better solution is to return void and pass your vector tio the functions by reference.
