Having an ofstream in the private data of a class

Hey everyone,

VC++ is givin me errors like

Code:

---

error C2146: syntax error : missing ';' before identifier '_fileStream1'
error C2501: 'ofstream' : missing storage-class or type specifiers

---

because of the line

Code:

---

ofstream _fileStream1;

---

which is in the private data section of my FileWriter class. I've attached the code below but i think i have included what i need to, is there somethin more about ofstreams that i need to know?

Code:

---


#include <stdio.h>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>

class FileWriter 
{
public:
        FileWriter(char* file_path /*name of file to be written*/);

        void write(char* item_name, int item_number);

private:

        ofstream _fileStream1;
};

---

Code:

---

...
private:

        std:: ofstream _fileStream1;
};

---

Cheers Wledge.

Nice1.
