syntax error : 'bad suffix on number'

Code:

#include <iostream>
#include <string> 
#include <fstream>

#include <iomanip>

using namespace std;

const int Max=100;

struct Item

{

string ID;

int sold;

int rem;

};

void read(Item Itemlist[], int length, string filename)

{

std::ifstream infile("filename.txt");

std::ofstream outfile("filename.txt");

infile.open("filename");

for(int i=0; i<length; i++)

{

infile >> Itemlist[i].ID;

cin.ignore(100, ' ');

infile >> Itemlist[i].sold;

cin.ignore(100, ' ');

infile >> Itemlist[i].rem;

}

return;

}

I get this error for every line of code in my text file. i figure the problem must be here.


This is a piece of what i have in main

Code:

#include "C:\Users\User\Desktop/inventory.txt"
#include "myfile.h"
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <fstream>
#include <iomanip>
using namespace std;


int main()
{
     struct Item myArray[Max];


    read(myArray, Max, "inventory.txt");

..etc

You are missing a : here

Code:

std:ofstream outfile("filename.txt");

yea woah actually i accidentaly erased it when i copied the code on here but its on my code let me fix that

Ok. You located the error. It has to do with the struct! You do not have anything named Item, you have only something named struct Item, so you need to write

Code:

struct Item myArray[Max];

In my main?

Please Look On my code.. Is that what you meant for me to do?

Yes

A good tip could be not to edit every time the first post, because this is opposite from the flow of the post.

Also I would suggest you to indent your code a bit



Finally, welcome to the forum

Ah sorry haha
and Thanks so much
Problem is im still getting the error i think it's my read function

Code:

#include "C:\Users\User\Desktop/inventory.txt"

You're including your data file as if it was program code. The compiler errors you get are when your poor abused compiler attempts to parse your data as C++.

Apologize to your compiler and remove that line.

Ok so this is what i have now in main

Code:

#include "inventory.txt"
#include "myfile.h"
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <fstream>
#include <iomanip>
using namespace std;


int main()
{
    struct Item myArray[Max];
    read( myArray, Max, "inventory.txt");

in my header file

Code:

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <fstream>
#include <iomanip>
using namespace std;
const int Max=100;
struct Item
{
    string ID;
    int sold;
    int rem;
};
void read(Item Itemlist[], int length, string filename)
{




    std::ifstream infile("filename.txt");
    std::ofstream outfile("filename.txt");
    infile.open("filename");
    for(int i=0; i<length; i++)
    {
        infile >> Itemlist[i].ID;
        cin.ignore(100, ' ');
        infile >> Itemlist[i].sold;
        cin.ignore(100, ' ');
        infile >> Itemlist[i].rem;
    }
    return;
}

and my text file im trying to read from

Code:

619847GBE 641 998
418712IMB 107 867
227451GEM 789 181
981836KEA 747 171

500635MIS 841 670
341955IUS 32 907
791357GEK 391 284

etc




Im getting this error for every line in my text file
error C2059: syntax error : 'bad suffix on number'

Code:

void read(Item Itemlist[]

YOu are missing again the struct

Code:

void read(struct Item Itemlist[], string filename)
{




	std::ifstream infile("filename.txt");
    std::ofstream outfile("filename.txt");
	infile.open("filename");
	for(int i=0; i<Max; i++)
	{
		infile >> Itemlist[i].ID;
		cin.ignore(100, ' ');
		infile >> Itemlist[i].sold;
		cin.ignore(100, ' ');
		infile >> Itemlist[i].rem;
	}
	return;
}

The line of code with return is not needed, but this not an error.

Also the second parameter is really unused. Maybe you wanted to say filename instead of "filename"

Yes i fixed that my code looks cleaner, but im still getting my same error

What do you mean? Post here your updated code please.
