    Classes problem

    I decided to get into some coding using class, havn't done this in a while. First up I got all these weird (to me) errors, and I'm sure its something stupid i'm doing. The source is attatched.

    Thanks.

    Code:
    	infile >> numofentries;
    
    	Entry entries[numofentries];
    	
    	for(int i = 0; i < numofentries; i++)
    	{
    		infile >> members[i].fname;
    		infile >> members[i].lname;
    		infile >> members[i].pnumber;
    		infile >> members[i].address;
    	}
    Firstly, you cant declare a varibale length array like this....the size of the array must be constant (like Entry entries[10];). If you want a variable length array, look at std::vector.

    Also...members[i].fname should be entries[i].fname;

    Code:
    #include <iostream.h>
    #include <fstream.h>
    #include "member.h"
    
    int main ()
    {
    	int numofentries;
    
    	ifstream infile("data.txt", ios::in);
    
    	infile >> numofentries;
    
    	Entry* members = new Entry[numofentries];
    	
    	for(int i = 0; i < numofentries; i++)
    	{
    		infile >> members[i].fname;
    		infile >> members[i].lname;
    		infile >> members[i].pnumber;
    		infile >> members[i].address;
    	}
    	
    	cout << numofentries;
    	
    	delete [] members;
    	
    	return 0;
    }
    That should work. You cannot declare an array the way you did, you must use a constant.
