Thread: Steam Help...

I'm working on an assignment which I have to first read in a char type-output it, then read in a int type...

This is some of what I coded (btw i just started coding so please no negative comments):

Code:

	char nextchar;
	int nextint;
	

	in_stream.get(nextchar);
	while (! in_stream.eof( ))
	{
		if (nextchar != 'S')
		{
			out_stream.put(nextchar);
			in_stream.get(nextint);
		}

With the code like that I keep getting this error:
"error C2664: 'class std::basic_istream<char,struct std::char_traits<char> > &__thiscall std::basic_istream<char,struct std::char_traits<char> >::get(char &)' : cannot convert pa
rameter 1 from 'int' to 'char &'"




Can someone PLEASE help me out with this...


Thanks in advance.

First, whenever you want help with an error, post the error AND a comment in your code on the line the error occurs to indicate where the error is to someone trying to help you.

Your problem is here:

in_stream.get(nextint);

nextint is an integer type and the function get() needs a char type as a parameter.

Thanks for the reply & sorry for not posting my problem correctly.

Can you (or someone else) help me out so I can take in the next 'int', so I can use it.

The file I'm reading from is in this format:
(char)(char) (int) (int)

I know how to take in the two char files but (as you can see) I'm stuck at taking in the ints.

So, if someone can help me-please do...

Thanks a million...

instream >> nextint;

If there are spaces between each char and each int, you can read in one line of input like this:

in_stream>>first_char>>second_char>>first_int>>sec ond_int;
