    Another #include "apstring.h" Problem

    Hello,

    I know that there are multiple topics on not being able to include the apstring.h. Well, I have read all over google, and searched on here. But I have come across somethings that say you need 5 ap.h's & the 5 ap.cpp's & the bool.h, and to put them into a apclass folder.

    Which I downloaded the files, except bool, which I think is wrong because I copied the source of it. And put them into the folder and when I include them into my .cpp file. It gives me errors!

    But I don't really understand, seeing is how I just started programming like 4-5 months ago. So if anyone could post a link to a site that will allow me to download these files, and give me instructions on how to do this, it would be greatly appreciated... Or if you would explain yourself this would also be great!

    Here's a crazy idea: Use the standard string class that comes with every C++ compiler. If your compiler doesn't have it, get a newer one.
    My best code is written with the delete key.

    Well, its not really for me. I am in programming class at my high school and my teacher and I are trying to figure out how to use the apstring (only becuase it is in the book the class is using). It's chapter 4 in our book, and he doesn't want to skip it. But I just wanted to know if there was a way so I could try & get this working so that the class & I could learn it.

    The compiler was bought by the school, so I'm sure if we could get one we would...

    You need a new book too.

    Did you ever google "apstring.h"?
    Cuz the very first hit seems to have it (or some version of apstring.h)

    Well, I got it to work, the .cpp wasn't included at the bottom of the .h file.

    Thank you

    You should add the .cpp files to your project, not add them to the bottom of .h files.

    When your programs get really large, you're in for some really long compile times for trivial changes if you continue with this.
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
