Thread: One Error

I am getting one error in this code, it is at this line:

#include NewString.h // NewString class definition
it says preprocessor syntax error
Not sure how to get rid of it!!!
Thanks!!!

Code:

#include <iostream>
#include <list>
#include NewString.h

Should Be

Code:

#include <iostream>
#include <list>
#include "NewString.h"

put it in the same directory as your project or put it in your include directory

#include NewString.h // NewString class definition
it says preprocessor syntax error

It means you need "" or <> around the filename!!!

Yup, needed the <> or " " and to put it in the right directory! Thanks!
Now maybe you can help with the rest? In this code I got case, 1, 2, 3 in the switch, but I am having trouble with 4 and 5.

Code:

#include <iostream>
#include <list>

   <<"  1 to create a NewString from a char*\n" 
   <<"  2 to display the current NewString\n"
   <<"  3 to concatenate a second NewString to the current NewString\n" 
   <<"  4 to show the length of the current NewString\n"
   <<"  5 to find out if a given NewString is substring if the current NewString\n";
 
} // end function instructions

   cout << "Testing a string of characters " <<". \n";

   instructions();  // display instructions
