A valid question. The reason is this is data that USED to be in the database and was 'archived' off.

So here's what I'm trying to do. Basically, I have a huge text file of strings which are delimited by a delimiter. I would like to read each string separately based on the delimiter. Note that each...

Assuming you won't in fact attempt to change 'crap' inside the 'bull' function, simply change the above to:

void bull( const char[] )
and
void bull( const char crap[] )
{
std::cout <<...

That works, unfortunately, I don't want it to be a static function as I want it to use the instance of the class that I'm working in.

Say what Dr. Dave?

I had trouble following your other thread too. guess I'm biting off more than I can chew.

Dave,

Don't lose sleep over it. But if you're up anyway, yes please find the other thread ;)

Dave,

I was looking at that - went over my head. Is there an easy answer to my particular example? Part of the problem seems to be that I'm INSIDE my class when I'm trying to pass another member...

So I'm trying to learn how to use function pointers (ie to pass the address of a function to another function to execute it - like a call back). I have it working when I use it as follows:
...

Since it's in milliseconds, you might want to do something like 5000 to notice it. In unix, it's lowercase sleep, and it's in seconds..

Also, shouldn't you be using the p in your function? (Rather than calling static methods, you would want to use the information stored in the Person object p). (for example p.getName() )

Basically, the only way to do this is what narue suggested and pass in the actual size as a parameter to the function. Either that, or use an STL collection, and use .size()
