Does any one know what this means?
68:45 C:\ass.cpp [Warning] multi-character character constant

The line is something like this:

Code:

database.getline(gRecs[i]->Name,20,'/n');

Slightly modified, its an assignment cant be too careful.
Im guessing its the '\n' in blue that might be causing it from looking on the web. though not sure, im getting unwanted output. Id like to give u more but as i said i shouldnt, anway a general run down might be enough, thanks.

u need '\n'


plus, i think get line wants a string anyway... "\n"

'\n' is a character constant (\ has special meaning - escape sequence) but '/n' consists of two characters '/' and 'n'.
Reading this may help

ah! stupid mistake.
