Thread: 'FILE fp is private within this context'

i have two .cpp files (actually three but one isnt giving me this problem)

in ISBN.cpp the decode function is calling ISBNPrefix's FILE fp
ISBN.cpp: <<this is the implementation file where ISBNPrefix's FILE fp is being called

Code:

#include <cstdlib>
#include <cstdio>
#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
#include <cstring>
#include <algorithm>
#include <functional>
#include <cctype>
using namespace std;
#include "ISBN.h"

//code....

int ISBN::decode(const ISBNPrefix& list){
  /* *DECODE THE ISBN* */
  int area1 = 0, b=1, n=0, min, length, publoop = 0, pub, checkpublenght, pubcheckloop=0, publenght, publisherloop=0, area_pub, titlelenght, ret=0;
  char o[11], areatostring[7], publishercheck[8], arealoop[7], pub1loop[7], pub2loop[7], pubsend[8], title1[8];
  strcpy(o,ISBN1);
  area1 = o[0] - 48;
  if(valid(ISBN1)==0){/*check if number is valid first*/
   ret = 0;
  }
  else {/*if valid start decoding*/
   while (n!=1){
    if(list.registered(area1)==1) {
     min = list.minNoDigits(area1);/*get the minimum digits for publisher*/
     sprintf(areatostring, "%i", area1); 
     length = strlen(areatostring);
     strcpy(publishercheck-length,o);/*take the area out str for checking*/
     sprintf(areatostring, "%i", area1);
     rewind(list.fp);
     while (!feof(list.fp)) {/*find the amount of time the area to check comes up*/
      fscanf(list.fp, "%s %s %s", arealoop, pub1loop, pub2loop);  
      if(strcmp(areatostring,arealoop)==0){
       publoop++;
      }
     }
     if(publoop==8){
      publoop=7;
     }
     while (publisherloop!=1) {
      strncpy(pubsend,publishercheck,min);
      pubsend[min] = '\0';
      pub = atoi(pubsend);
      fscanf(list.fp, "%s %s %s", arealoop, pub1loop, pub2loop);
      if(list.registered(area1, pubsend)==1){/*if publisher is found*/
       strcpy(area,areatostring);/*area equals the area sent*/
       strcpy(publisher,pubsend);
       area_pub = strlen(area) + strlen(publisher);
       titlelenght = 10 - area_pub - 1;	
       strcpy(title1-area_pub,o);/*find lenght to determine the title and take out the check digit*/
       strncpy(title,title1,titlelenght);
       title[titlelenght] = '\0';
       n = 1;/*stop loop, everything is found*/
       publisherloop = 1;
       ret = 1;/*return is now true*/
      }
      else {	
       min++;
      }                
     }                                      
    }
    else{/*if check is false add an addition digits to the area*/
     area1 = area1 * 10 + (o[b] - 48);
     b++; 
     if(b>5){/*if the area goes over 5 checks there is no valid area*/		
      n = 1;
      ret = 0;

ISBN.h:

Code:

#define ISBN_H
#endif
#include "ISBNPrefix.h"
class ISBNPrefix;
int valid(const char* str);
class ISBN{
  char ISBN1[11];
  char area[6];
  char publisher[8];
  char title[8];
  char s;

ISBNPrefix.h: <<this is the header file for ISBNPREFIX where FILE fp is declared

Code:

/*Matthew Faria*/
/*Assignment 2*/
/*ISBNPrefix.h*/
/*Header file for IBSNPrefix.h*/
class ISBNPrefix{
  FILE* fp;
 public:
  ISBNPrefix(const char* filename);  
  ISBNPrefix(const ISBNPrefix& source);
  ~ISBNPrefix();
  int registered(int area) const;
  int minNoDigits(int area) const;
  int registered(int area, const char* publisher) const;
  ISBNPrefix& operator=(const ISBNPrefix& source);    
};

anyone know how i can fix this?

i was going to go the cheap way but my prof would probably want me to redo this assignment again. I don't know how to use the proper way i tried googling get() but i don't know exactly what i am looking for.

oh, i see know

btw anon, thats how my prof wanted it made im just following his rules (in reponse to "why does something called ISBNPrefix have a FILE* member in the first place?")

Getting a new problem now, my implementation files have no error anymore but now my main won't compile, i attached every file need to run this if anyone can see what i should omit or add.

ill post the header files here:

>> now my main won't compile
What errors do you get?

here is a screenshot of the errors

edit: dev-c++ is the program im using

like this?

Code:

#include <cstdio>
#include <cstring>
#include <iostream>
#include "ISBNPrefix.h"
#ifndef ISBN_H
#define ISBN_H
int valid(const char* str);
class ISBN{
  char ISBN1[11];
  char area[6];
  char publisher[8];
  char title[8];
  char s;
  int isRegistered;
  int decode(const ISBNPrefix& list);
 public:
  ISBN(); 
  ISBN(const char* str, const ISBNPrefix& list);
  ~ISBN();
  void style(char c);
  int empty() const;
  int registered() const;
  void toStr(char* isbn) const;
  void toStrWithStyle(char* isbn) const;
  void display(ostream& os) const;
  int accept(istream& is, const ISBNPrefix& list);
  friend int operator==(const ISBN& left, const ISBN& right);
  friend class Order;  
};
#endif

oh alright i got it now, now that they all have no syntax error i still get the "undefined reference to" that i was getting in the beginning.

Every function called in main that is part of one of the three classes says "undefined reference to..."

anyways to fix that, or would you have to compile yourself
