    strcpy()

    ok here is the deal i made this to test my ability at structs and ended up with another problem but i cant figure it out if some one could help me id appreciate it

    Here is the code:

    #include "stdafx.h"
    #include <stdlib.h>
    #include <iostream.h>
    #include "Dagger.h"




    int main(int argc, char* argv[])
    {

    cout << "ok here we go attemting to store the data into the structure ";
    cout << endl;

    weapon kris;

    strcpy(kris.type. "slashing");

    cout << "hopefully if this worked there should be the right value in here";
    cout << endl;
    cout << kris.type;
    cout << endl;



    return 0;
    }

    and here is the header:

    #ifndef _Dagger_H
    #define _Dagger_H
    struct weapon{
    char type[30];
    char name[30];
    int tohitmod;
    int damage;
    int damagemod;
    };

    #endif

    and yesss I am using MSVC++ before anyone starts grumping and groaning

    Thank You!!

    You don't say exactly what problem you are having, but, to get it to compile, I took out the stdafx.h header, added the string.h header, (for strcpy), and changed the "." to a"," in the strcpy function. Seemed to work then.
    Wave upon wave of demented avengers march cheerfully out of obscurity unto the dream.

    ya i need the #include "StdAfx.h" so i dont get a visual error

    it was the string.h that was giving me the trouble (along with my bad grammar)

    i thought it was stdlib.h for that

    thanks though
