Thread: Meaning of an error

It is all fine, or seems to be, I chekced all of it. I'm doing the exact same thing in another 2 projects, they work.

here's the Header file:

Code:

# include <stdio.h>
# include <string.h>
# include <math.h>
# include <stdlib.h>
# include <ctype.h>

struct DataLine
{
	char Param[20];
	int Label, SFactor, SigBits;
	int Bit30, Bit31, Max, Min;
} ;


#ifndef EDFParse3_H 
#define EDFParse3_H 


int FindWord(FILE *inp,char KeyWord[25]);
int GetWord(FILE *inp, char *string);
void SkipWS(FILE *inp);
        //void print_Struct( struct DataLine sec );
        //int ReadSection(FILE * inp, struct DataLine Sec[], int nExpected);
FILE* OpenFile();


#endif

here's one of the functions:

Code:

int GetWord(FILE *inp, char *string)
{
	int i=0;
	int ch;	
	
	do
	{
		ch = fgetc ( inp );
	
		if (ch == ' ')     //White space
			break; 

		if (ch == EOF)
		                   // eof reached
		    break; 
		if (ch == '\n')
			break;         // end of line
		
		string[i] = ch;
		i++;
	}
	while (i<25);

	string[i] = '\0';

	return 1;
}

and it's included in the project under sourse files, GetWord.cpp.

For some reason it compiles fine if I save all sourse files as C files not C++.

Look up the extern "C" stuff.
