    another string parsing problem

    ok, here is the deal: I have a txt file, as below:
    Code:
    a
    b
    c
    d
    e
    f
    a.o: a b
    b.o: b c d
    e.o: e f
    something: a.o b.o e.o
    and I have to parse through it, and seperate it omitting the ':' and keeping track of some extra stuff. For example a through f, are basic files, but a.o, b.o, e.o, and somehting are targets, and I need to know that.

    anyways, the first thing I had to do is count all the basic files and targets, and then read them into a map, that was relatively simple:
    Code:
    void ReadFile::readIntoMap( MyMap &mapName, string fileName )
    {
    	ifstream inStream3;	
    	inStream3.open( fileName.c_str() ); //open user chosen file
    
    	//declaring variables
    	int i=0;	//counter
    	int vertex=0;  //place for all the vertices
    	string temp;	//temp place holder
    
    	/*********************************
    	TESTING
    	********************************/
    	cout << endl << "these are the veritces/values in the map: " << endl;
    
    	while( !inStream3.eof() && inStream3.good() )
    	{
    		getline( inStream3, temp );
    		if( temp.length() == 1 )
    			mapName.insert( temp, vertex );
    		else{
    			i=temp.find( ':', 0 );
    			if ( i>0 )
    				temp.resize( i, ' ' );
    			else{
    				i = temp.find( ' ', 0 );
    				temp.resize( i, ' ' );
    			}
    			mapName.insert( temp, vertex );
    		}
    		vertex++;
    		if( vertex > lines )
    			break;
    	}		
    
    	inStream3.close();
    }
    but now I can not just "chop" off the temp (temp.resize( i, ' ' );) because I need the "stuff" that follows it...any ideas?

    Use substr()

    ok, can you guys look at this dumb problem, fscking vc++ spits these errors out...maybe I'm just too tired.... the worst thing is, that it was working fine a fe wminutes ago.
    Code:
    #include <iostream>
    #include <string>
    #include <map>
    using namespace std;
    
    #include "llist.h"
    #include "readfile.h"
    #include "mymap.h"
    //#include "readfile.cpp"
    
    int main()
    {
    	ReadFile read;
    	string temp = "test.txt";
    	read.openFileCountElements( temp );
    
    	cout << read.lines  << endl;
    
    	MyMap one;
    
    	read.readIntoMap( one, temp );
    
    	MyList *mainArray;
    	mainArray = new MyList[read.lines];
    
    	MyList adjList;
    	read.readIntoList( one, temp, mainArray, adjList );
    
    	return 0;
    }
    Code:
    \main.cpp(12) : error C2601: 'main' : local function definitions are illegal
    \main.cpp(33) : fatal error C1004: unexpected end of file found
    Error executing cl.exe.
