40 C:\Documents and Settings\william\Desktop\ECE370\ass5\main.cpp no matching function for call to `strlen(std::string&)'

wtf is this?

I have #include <string.h>

Brujah · 11-30-2005, 05:44 PM

show the previous lines ? the one using strlen() ?

Baker Rd · 11-30-2005, 05:44 PM

"no matching function"

answers your question, no?

Pete-KT · 11-30-2005, 05:45 PM

your calling a function that you have declared

wedouglas · 11-30-2005, 05:48 PM

I have this

struct stats{
string name;
int cost;
};

stats blah[2];

how can i find the length of blah[0].name ?

Pete-KT · 11-30-2005, 05:50 PM

where are you declaring blah?

wedouglas · 11-30-2005, 05:51 PM

that is irrelevant. consider it in main.

Pete-KT · 11-30-2005, 05:58 PM

whats on line 40?

wedouglas · 11-30-2005, 06:05 PM

just part of a conditional statement. I just need to know the function to get the length of a string.

Baker Rd · 11-30-2005, 06:12 PM

its probably string.length or string.len (ie: length(string))

Brujah · 11-30-2005, 06:28 PM

I think it's just being used incorrectly. Maybe this will help.

Thanks i found it. I saw it written online as length() and thought i used it like length(blah[0].name)

when it is actually supposed to be blah[0].name.length()

thanks for looking.
