: : i am using the string class and have a problem.
: : I need to cout a string containing the path of
: : the found file. but i can't do this for some
: : reason. I think i can get it to work by using
: : string streams but i can't remember how, anyone
: : know how to use string streams or any other way
: : to get it done??
: : thanks,
: Did you write your own string class, are
: you simply using char pointers, or did you
: use one of the Built-In libraries? The
: built-ins and char arrays should just allow
: you to use "cout << mystring << endl;"
: If you build your own class, you have to
: overload the stream insertion operator
: by using a friend function of the class.
i used the built in library, but it won't let me cout a string.
