So how would I make values in the Holdings class consist of a string and an int, or would I not be able to use a class with that method? From what I can tell I would be going through all of the data in the file, then creating new str and int variables for each value? How would I do that?

For this thing http://pastebin.com/5yb3KW3W

Would making a loop that uses an ifstream and only stops when the inputted string matches strStartRead, then proceeds to read what I want it to work? If so, is there a better way to do that?

Goings on

All throughout the Hobbit Empire, having learned the secrets of mithril mining from the Dwarves, Hobbit miners strike the earth in a manner that makes their bearded partners proud (and jealous).


The output of 52 Human farms and fisheries is stolen by Kobolds.
2 Kobold caves destroyed by the dragon. The survivors are rescued by Kobold thieves.
3 Dwarven farms/fisheries destroyed by the dragon. Kobolds steal the plunder.
A Dwarven forge is destroyed by the dragon right after it produces suits of steel armor. The Kobolds steel the masterworks from the dragon's lair.
3 Hobbit mithril mines, 2 iron mines destroyed by the dragon.

Sorry for being so late.

Wow, everything works now. Thanks so much!

The errors are at:
line 166, where the >> operator "matches no operands"
lines 167-212 where it can't compare strY with a string using strcmp (which as Cerapa said is expected), or compare strY to strings using == (which is a problem).
line 213 where != "does not match these operands"

"Armoring" was a poor example, but it doesn't work for any of the streams that use ==. strEndRead is declared in the parenthesis of the function that the loop resides in.

Streams? You mean strings?

I didn't mean its location. Is strEndRead a char array?

yes I meant strings and no it's an std::string.

Well I can't see what. It's all there in the pastebin, so you could take a look there and see if you see anything. == won't work when comparing an std::string to a string in the file (such as "armoring") or in (strY != strEndRead). The compiler just says "no operator '==' or '!=' matches these operands."

When I do this http://pastebin.com/HHYxn40x (changing Y and EndRead into std::strings and using strmcmp for my conditions), the compiler tells me that I cannot assign strY with a value from my ifstream and that I cannot use the strings as conditions, whether I use strcmp or ==. It says that "no conversion function from std::string and const char exists."
