What do these Errors mean?

[Tragen]

I am using VC++ 6.0 and do not understand what these errors mean. Could someone please tell me what they mean. Also, since I doubt anyone wants to read 600 lines of code I'll post the part I'm getting the errors on (let me know if more code needs to be posted).

temp is being used again and again, that is why it is so big and ds_entry is of course a dynamacally allocated structure.

char temp[500];

cout << "Complete...(y) or (n): ";
cin.get(temp, 500, '\n');
cin.ignore(100, '\n');
while(!(temp == 'y' || temp == 'Y' || temp == 'n' || temp == 'N'))
{
     strcpy(temp, " ");
     cout << "Please enter (y) or (n): ";
     cin.get(temp, '\n');
     cin.ignore(100, '\n');
     cout << endl;
}
ds_entry[eNumber]->complete = new char[strlen(temp) + 1];
strcpy(ds_entry[eNumber]->complete, temp);
strcpy(temp, " ");
cout << endl;

The errors I get are

They refer to the temp variable but I do not know how to correct this. What is going on and what is the int in the errors?

[nickname_changed]

Try using a different value rather than temp, like char TEMP. See if that works, because at one stage you are checking to see if 'temp' if equal to a char, so if temp is an array of char you'd probably get an error. In another place though your trying to copy a string (" ") to temp. If temp is a single char then you would just be able to write temp = ' '. If temp is a string though, then you will have to compare it like this

if(temp[0] == 'y' ...)

It looks like your getting more error than this, but they were the ones I noticed straight out.
