Thread: inputing a string

Somehow, it looks like what you've shown here and the error messages don't match exactly - the error seems to be on line 25, which is a bit more than the 10 or so lines that you show here. Can you either:
1. Post the actual code that gives the error.
2. Post the error code from compiling this code.

I'm basing this on:

main.cpp(25): ...

The number in brackets is usualy the line number.

ok... the whole code is

Code:

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <vector>
using namespace std;

int i, i1;                                      // Loop variables

char * strcat ( char*, char const* );

    string code;                      // The key for other monoalpheric ciphers
    int length;                                 // The length of the key
    
    char Shrift_Key[2][26];              // The entire key for a shrift cipher

    Key(char choice) {                        // Constructor
        string temp;              // A temporary array

        cout << "Enter the key." << endl;

        cin >> temp; // and this is where the error is
            
        if(!temp.length()) {

            else {
                length = 1;

                value = temp[0];
            }
        }

        if(temp.length()>26) {

            return;
        }

        else {
            length = temp.length();

            for(i=0;i<length;++i) code[i] = temp[i];
        }
    };

};

void SplitCode(char choice);

void Menu(void);

int main() {return 0;}

void Menu(void) {
    
    char choice;                                 // What to do

}

void SplitCode(char choice) {
    Cipher Vigenerec;                      // Create an instance of the cipher object

    Key Vigenerek(choice);                            // Create an instance of the key

    int Rmd = Vigenerek.value &#37; Vigenerec.length;// The number of odd digits out (uncompleted bits of key)
    int ArrayLen = (Vigenerec.length - Rmd) / Vigenerek.value;
    if(Rmd) ArrayLen++;

    vector<char> Split_Text[20];

    for(i=0;i<Vigenerek.value;++i) Split_Text[i].resize(ArrayLen);
    
    for(i=0;i<Vigenerec.length;++i) {
        int r = i % 5;                          // The bit of the key
        int r2 = (i-r)/5;                       // How many times did the key looped

        Split_Text[r][r2] = Vigenerec.Text[i];
    }

    for(i=0;i<Vigenerek.value;++i) {
        for(i1=0;i1<ArrayLen;i++) cout << Split_Text[i][i1];

        cout << "" << endl;
    }
}

and btw, it is not finished

That compiles fine with gcc mingw 3.4.2.
