"error C2106: '=' : left operand must be l-value"
i keep getting that error everytime. (error C2106: '=' : left operand must be l-value) i want to take specific feilds from the data i read in, and put it into another struct. but when i get to the productlineid it keeps erroring. both are set to char of [10]
here's what im doing
Code:
class Data //class used to take in the data from the file
{
private:
struct Rawdata
{
int ordernumber;
char date[10];
int orderedproductid;
float priceperproduct;
int numberordered;
char productlineid[10]; //data in this field must be 10 chars long so ----'s are added to the text
int customerid;
}; // file so each product id has 10 chars so it properly reads it
public:
Data( ); //constructor
void ReadFile(int);
ifstream transactionin; // Allows class access to tranaction file
};
class Report //class used to sort the data and print it out
{
public:
struct Transaction // Declaration of Transaction Structure
{
int orderedproductid;
int numberordered;
float priceperproduct;
char productlineid[10]; //data in this field must be 10 chars long so ----'s are added to the text
}; // file so each product id has 10 chars so it properly reads it
Transaction datain[10];
Report(); //constructor
void SortData();
void PrintData();
};
.............cut out not relevent code
void Data::ReadFile(int MAXRECS)
{
int Record = 0;
transactionin.open("transaction.h", ios::in, ios::nocreate); //open transaction.h file
if (transactionin == NULL) //check if file opened correctly
{
cout << "\nThe file transaction.h was not opened, please check the file" << endl;
exit(1);
}
int LINECOUNTER = 0; //counter to increase the structure
char NEWLINE = '\n';
int ch;
char line[100];
while( (ch = transactionin.peek()) != EOF) // this counts how many lines are
{ // in the transaction.h data file
transactionin.getline(line,100,NEWLINE);
LINECOUNTER++;
}
transactionin.close();
Rawdata record[10]; // constant problem!!!!!!!
transactionin.open("transaction.h", ios::in, ios::nocreate);
while (Record < LINECOUNTER) //reads the text file until MAXRECS has been reached
{ // putting the data into the appropriate struct array position
transactionin >> record[Record].ordernumber;
transactionin >> record[Record].date ;
transactionin >> record[Record].orderedproductid ;
transactionin >> record[Record].priceperproduct ;
transactionin >> record[Record].numberordered;
transactionin >> record[Record].productlineid ;
transactionin >> record[Record].customerid ;
Record++; // increment the record counter
}
transactionin.close(); //close the data file transaction.h
Record=0;
Report::Transaction datain[10];
while(Record < LINECOUNTER)
{
datain[Record].orderedproductid = record[Record].orderedproductid;
datain[Record].numberordered = record[Record].numberordered ;
datain[Record].priceperproduct = record[Record].priceperproduct;
datain[Record].productlineid = record[Record].productlineid ; //THIS IS WHERE ERRROR HAPPENS
Record++;
}
}
