becomming angry with chars, strings, text...
Author
hello i''m wondering how to store a large amount of text. i''ve tried from chars to strings to whatever and it never works. especially with a class system.
#include <iostream.h>
#include <conio.h>
#include <string.h>
class player
{
public:
char name[60];
private:
};
void main()
{
player player2;
player2.name = "blah, a really long name that can go on for 60 letters";
cout<<player2.playername;
getch();
}
I just want to know why it won''t save it and work when i run it, thanks.
You'll have to change the player.name="string" to:
strcpy(player2.name, "blah, a really long name that can go on for 60 letters");
Oh yeah, and here's a good page for C Strings (String.h)

Hi there, at a quick glance i can see that you missed a ''<'' in your ''cout''.
Not quite...Ahem...HTML

Ohh interesting i didnt realize.
Use proper C++ strings, not character arrays. By the way, it''s <iostream>, not <iostream.h>; search GameDev on the topic and you''ll find lots of reasons why ...
#include <iostream>#include <conio.h>// Different file. <string.h> becomes// <cstring>!#include <string>class player{public: std::string name;private:};// main() -must- return an int!int main(){ using namespace std; player player2; player2.name = "blah, a really long name that can go on for 60 letters - or as many as you want; the std::string will reisze itself"; cout << player2.playername << endl; getch(); // Don''t need to -explicitly- return; main() will // implicitly return 0 unless you specify otherwise}quote:Original post by MiserableI''ll save everyone the trouble of searching: here''s a good topic on this issue. I have it bookmarked for this purpose.

Miserable, did you even try to compile that before you posted it?
