    TransDate=line.substr(5,1);
    Name=line.substr(6,10);
    TD = TransDate;
    TDtoi = atoi( TD );
    if (TDtoi == TransDateSelect)

    The string you are atoi() supplying with should be of type char *. I guess you're variable TD is not of that type.

    Try -

    TDtoi = atoi( TD.c_str() );
