>Why is this producing an error?
Stream objects aren't copyable at the object level. As jonsca said, you need to pass a reference to the ifstream.

Proper multi-threading is non-trivial, so you're not likely to find one example that will teach you what you need. My recommendation...

So basically you don't know how to write the program and want us to hold your hand (or do it for you). Sorry, but no go. You'll have to work a little harder than that for your code to count as proof...

The stream in question is whatever input stream you want to clean up in a line-oriented fashion, but yes, it was written with stdin in mind.

That's correct. Now take a look at your code and see if it matches what you just described.

>Lines 124 and 132 contain the same two errors.
I'll answer your question with another question: How many clauses does a for loop have?

p.s. You also need to include the <string> header.

You can specialize myclass::function based on the template parameters of myclass:

#include <iostream>

struct mystruct {};

template <class T>
class myclass
{
public:

No, see it's not. A debug assertion doesn't mean you hit an expected runtime error condition, and it doesn't mean that your files aren't formatted the way your...

Yea, that's not suspicious at all. :icon_rolleyes: From past experience, I'm more inclined to believe that you're a sock puppet rather than a concerned classmate.

Dude, your code is severely broken in several ways. I can only assume that MyFunction is equally crappy. Start by normalizing your expected/actual types, and fix your overflow errors. I'd help you...

MyChar is an array of char. a[i] is a single char. The two types are completely incompatible. MyChar[i] = a[i] would work. At least until i gets incremented past 1, then you're accessing a out of...
