getting an error I can't figure out....

I was wondering if someone could help I am getting these error message and I can't figure out how to fix them any ideas??

error C2228: left of '.string' must have class/struct/union type
C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\My Documents\Computer error C2664: 'lin_search' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'class index [2000]' to 'class index *[]'
Types pointed to are unrelated; conversion requires reinterpret_cast, C-style cast or function-style cast

here is my code

Code:

class index{
	public:
		int number;
		char string[100];
		char url[50];
};

bool lin_search(index *l[], char word[]){
	for(int i = 0; i <= 20; i++) 
		if(l[i].string == word)
			return true;
	
	return false;
}

I call the function like this:

Code:

	index w[2000];
	char word[100];
	int count = 0;
	ifstream filein("collection.txt", ios::nocreate);

				while(!addrin.eof()){
					addrin >> word;
					if(lin_search(w, word) == true){}

I hope someone can help. Thanks

>>bool lin_search(index *l[], char word[]){

Should be:

bool lin_search(index l[], char word[]){

I gave that a try but it wasn't passing the class object through the function I couldn't check if the strings were the same.

I believe your problem is that l[i] is a pointer, so you need to write your if statement like so:

Code:

         if(l[i]->string == word)
             return true;

At least thats what the error is complaining about.
