File Loading/Saving Problem

[DarkWhoppy]

I started working on my own Load/Save functions last night. And run into one problem... when I try to save a "stringc" I get a bunch of errors.

Code: Select all

stringc PlayerName;

PlayerName = "Niko Gebhardt";

//open file blah blah blah
o_file <<PlayerName;

//then close the file blah blah

Looks like it should work eh? I'm using the <fstream> functions to open and close my files. Everything will save except for the PlayerName. Here's my error...

no match for `std::ofstream& << irr::core::stringc&' operator

Someone got a way around this?

[rt]

use a char[256] instead of a stringc

Code: Select all

char[256] PlayerName; 

strcpy(PlayerName,"Niko Gebhardt"); 

//open file blah blah blah 
o_file << PlayerName; 

//then close the file blah blah

I still get a load of errors. Thanks anyway

ERRORS

player.h
declaration does not declare anything

player.h
parse error before `[' token

player.cpp
no match for `std::ofstream& << irr::core::stringc&' operator

Info Needed, which is inside the .H and .CPP files.

char[256] PlayerName;
strcpy(PlayerName,"Niko Gebhardt");

//--pieces taken from the SaveGame function.
ofstream o_file("save/game01.sav",ios::trunc);
o_file <<PlayerName;
o_file.close();

There're some of my errors... (the main ones, others just come up because of those... you know how C++ is =P )

You can also get a pointer to a C or C++ style char from a stringc if you like:

Code: Select all

stringc PlayerName; 
PlayerName = "DarkWhoppy"; 
o_file <<PlayerName.c_str();
