Thread: Basic? C++ open file problem

Hi all,
I am having trouble with what should be a simple action, opening a file.
It is a fairly special file with a .uds extension for which I have found a .h include file. I pasted the .h file into a sample program that compiled OK and added the statements below but I still get an error.

{
char filestring[50]= "c:\\mscv20\\test\\uds\\edlstn.uds";
char *ptr ;
char fileptr = *filestring;
int fduds ;
size_t udslen;



ptr = uds_open_file (fduds,*filestring,udslen);

The error below

Initializing...
Compiling...
c:\msvc\samples\qwgdemo\qwgdemo.cpp


c:\msvc\samples\qwgdemo\qwgdemo.cpp(38) : error C2514: 'uds_open_file' : class has no constructors
CL returned error code 2.
QWGDEMO.EXE - 2 error(s), 0 warning(s)
