Thread: Weird String error (LNK2019)

Well, I've been working on a simple explorer.exe replacement, with it's own simple scripting language.

Everything was going fine until I added a ParseScript, and tokenizeString Function:

Code:

PUNCH error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "class std::basic_string<char,struct std::char_traits<char>,class std::allocator<char> > __cdecl punch::tokenizeString(class std::basic_string<char,struct std::char_traits<char>,class std::allocator<char> >,class std::vector<class std::basic_string<char,struct std::char_traits<char>,class std::allocator<char> >,class std::allocator<class std::basic_string<char,struct std::char_traits<char>,class std::allocator<char> > > >,class std::basic_string<char,struct std::char_traits<char>,class std::allocator<char> >)" (?tokenizeString@punch@@YA?AV?$basic_string@DU?$char_traits@D@std@@V?$allocator@D@2@@std@@V23@V?$vector@V?$basic_string@DU?$char_traits@D@std@@V?$allocator@D@2@@std@@V?$allocator@V?$basic_string@DU?$char_traits@D@std@@V?$allocator@D@2@@std@@@2@@3@0@Z) referenced in function "class std::basic_string<char,struct std::char_traits<char>,class std::allocator<char> > __cdecl punchScript::ParseScript(class punchScript::scriptObject)" (?ParseScript@punchScript@@YA?AV?$basic_string@DU?$char_traits@D@std@@V?$allocator@D@2@@std@@VscriptObject@1@@Z)

Now, from what I can gather, the error is related to the ParseScript function. Here's that and the tokenizeString one (Based on the one from the FAQ):

ParseScript:

Code:

string punchScript::ParseScript(scriptObject script)
{
	vector < string > commands;
	punch::tokenizeString(script.commands, commands,  "\n");
	
	for(int i=0; i < (int)commands.size(); i++)
	{
		if(commands[i].find("createWindow ", 0) == 0)
		{
			string file = commands[i].erase(0, 12); //File for that command
			char* buff = "";
			sprintf(buff, "%s", file.c_str());
			ShellExecute(NULL, "open", buff, NULL, NULL, SW_SHOWNORMAL);
		}
		
		if(commands[i].find("script ", 0) == 0)
		{
			string file = commands[i].erase(0, 6); //File for that command
			
			scriptObject obj = LoadScript(file);
			return ParseScript(obj);
		}
	}
	
	return "TRUE";
}

tokenizeString:

Code:

         string tokenizeString(string str1, vector<string> target, string delimeter="\n")
         {
			  string str = str1;
			  vector <string> tokens; //we'll put all of the tokens in here 
			  string  temp;

			  while (str.find(delimeter, 0) != string::npos)
			  { 
			    size_t  pos = str.find(delimeter, 0); //store the position of the delimiter
			    temp = str.substr(0, pos);      //get the token
			    str.erase(0, pos + 1);          //erase it from the source 
			    tokens.push_back(temp);                //and put it into the array
			  }

  			  tokens.push_back(str);           //the last token is all alone
				
			 target = tokens;
			 return "TRUE";
		}

Sorry for the overly-long post

I double posted? :S

I *Did* Have a browser crash almost as soon as I clicked "submit", but It didn't display on the page...

*Shrugs* Could a mod please remove this topic, then?

Code:

class punchScript::scriptObject
{
	public:
		string file; //Filename
		string comments; //All the Comments, unused
		
		string commands; //List of commands and their parameters, separated by newline
};

I'll attach the other files as well..

The problem is that the linker cannot find the definition of punch::tokenizeString. This is because you didn't define it in the punch namespace. Add punch:: to the definition of tokenizeString.
