Thread: using substr

Can someone look at this program and tell me why i am getting the error that
**c:\documents and settings\burley\desktop\carrie\cpp1.cpp(26) : error C2664: 'substr' : cannot convert parameter 2 from 'class std::basic_string<char,struct std::char_traits<char>,class std::allocator<char> >' to 'unsigned int'
here is the program!!!!
#include <iostream>
#include <string>

using namespace std;
int main ()
{
string fullname;

cout<< "Please enter you first and last name:";

cin>>fullname;

getline(cin,fullname,'\n');

string spaceposition;

spaceposition= fullname.find(" ",0);

string fname;

fname=fullname.substr(0,spaceposition);

string lname;

lname=fullname.substr(spaceposition,fname.size());

cout << "First Name: "<<fname<< endl;
cout << "Last Name: " <<lname<< endl;

return 0;
} ///Thank you !!!!!

You don't need cin>>fullname and getline(cin,fullname). Try -

Code:

#include <iostream> 
#include <string> 

using namespace std; 
int main () 
{ 
string fullname; 

cout<< "Please enter you first and last name:"; 

getline(cin,fullname,'\n'); 

int spaceposition; 

spaceposition= fullname.find(" ",0); 

string fname; 

fname=fullname.substr(0,spaceposition); 

string lname; 

lname=fullname.substr(spaceposition,fullname.size()); 

cout << "First Name: "<<fname<< endl; 
cout << "Last Name: " <<lname<< endl; 

return 0; 
}

Thank you very much I appreciate your help!!!!!!!
Works great!!!!
