Hello guys I am having a problem getting this program to access a file in one of my header files for example:
What's your question?
And by the way, the end code tag is . And don't use that, use the [ source ] [/ source] tags instead.

Well of course it can't - that's the definition of it being private. Either make it public, or provide a public function to retrieve the value.
Also, consider using std::string instead of that character array garbage.

Hello guys I am having a problem getting this program to access a file in one of my header files for example:

My question is in main you notice that roomsArray[currentroom].name;
How can I get roomsArray to access name[32] in the rooms header file?

I would retype what I said, but you can just re-read it :)
And next time, please EDIT your post instead of reposting it. And please read what he said.

What you need to do is create a set of accessors for this class, as was mentioned by RDragon1. For example:
class rooms{public: const char* GetName() { return name; }; const char* GetDescription( return description; );};So now when you need to access it
cout << "You emerge in the " <<roomsArray[currentroom].GetName();cout << roomsArray[currentroom].GetDescription();Then that's it! Just from looking at your code, I would reccomend you take a look into using something such as std::string rather than char[]'s simply because of the possibilities for overflows when you are working with this project as well as for the suggestion that RDragon1 provided. Just a suggestion....Good luck! [smile]

Can anyone help I am getting so close?
What IDE are you using? It should have some help in which you can find exactly what does your error message mean.
And it would certainly help if you posted source for the equipment class.
And as someone said, use std::string instead of char*. Then you won't need strcpy and it will look much better and be much more safe.
