Help with my searching my array

Hi i am trying to create a programme that will let me enter car details in to an array and then let me search them after and bring up all the details but im having problems with one of the lines to do with the search. Here is the section of code that seems to be the problem (i have wrote more but am trying to reframe to put the whole code online)

Code:

---


int search(Car autos[], int size, int search_id)
{
        bool found=false;
        int i;
        for (i=0; i<size; i++)
        {
                if (search_id == autos[i].carreg) { found = true; break;}
        }
        if (found)
                return i;
        else
                return -1; //not found

---

and specifically this exact line
if (search_id == autos[i].carreg) { found = true; break;}

error c2784 comes up 9 times

greatful for any help

IAN

That doesn't mean anything. What is the full text of the error? Since it came up nine times, is there an error earlier than this line?

Wouldn't you like this better?

Code:

---

int search(Car autos[], int size, int search_id)
{
        for (int i=0; i<size; i++)
        {
                if (search_id == autos[i].carreg) { return i; }
        }
        return -1; //not found
}

the car comes from here

Code:

---

#include "stdafx.h"
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;

struct Car
{
string carmake;
string carreg;
string carmodel;
int carmile;
};

---

So why are you trying to compare an int with a string?

i dont understand what you mean? i populate the arrays called carmake, carreg, carmodel and carmile. and then wanna search any details i have entered via the carreg.

do u mean because search_id is an int, and carreg is a string

Well...YEAH!? Is an integer a string???

ok ok i get you know, i cahnged the search_id to a string that part is working now. thankyou very much
