This should be a fairly easy question to answer, but it has me stumped. I need to be able to use the copy constructor to copy a string that's entered by the user. When I try to do this the normal way I've been using the copy constructor, like so:
member = class.member
I get an error telling me that I need to use an LValue. This works for every other data type except strings. Thanks in advance.
Show your class declaration. Also you are talking about char arrays?
If you are using normal strings, (i.e. null terminated strings), you need to use the strcpy() function to copy the contents of one string to another...
strcpy(string,o.string);
That worked beautifully adrianxw, thank you. I'm surprised I didn't try that, I've been working with C for so long and C++ classes are so different that it never crossed my mind to try using string.h. Thanks again :)
