Reading a string from an infile that's part of a struct..

[CapMaster]

Does anyone know the proper syntax to properly, read in data from a txt file..and have it's contents be put into string variables, that are part of a struct array? I keep getting errors on the read ins, regarding >> operatios. here is my code:

#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <cstring>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <string>
#include <cmath>
#include <iomanip>
using namespace std;
int last;

class List
{

struct phoneT
{
string lname[15];
string fname[10];
string mi;
string phone [15];
string room [3];
string mm [2];
string yy [2];
string year [4];
};
public:
static phoneT dir[100];
void readin();
void showlist();
void fnamesearch(string);
void lnamesearch(string);
};


void List::readin()
{

ifstream infile;
infile.open("dir.txt");
int x=0;
while (!infile.eof())
{

infile>>dir[x].lname>>dir[x].fname>>dir[x].mi>>dir[x].phone>>dir[x].room>>dir[x].mm>>dir[x].yy>>dir[x].year;
x++;
last++;
}
}
void List::showlist()
{
for (int i=0; i<last; i++)
{
cout<<dir[i].lname<<" "<<dir[i].fname<<" "<<dir[i].mi<<" "<<dir[i].phone<<" "<<" "<<dir[i].room<<" "<<dir[i].mm<<" "<<dir[i].yy<<" "<<dir[i].year<<" ";
}
}

}
}

If u are referrring to the static variable inside the class then u shuld use classname::variable name
like List::dir

What ir dir[x]?? Some kind of array??

Thses are member functions so you can:

infile>>lname>>fname>>mi>>phone>>room>>mm...etc
 

That would read one object from the input file stream.

I this object is part of an array, then do that in main(). The memebr function is only concerned with the this object.
