Problem using header files in VC++.

[Arne Kristoffer]

Hello! :)

I'm having some trouble including header files in my project. This is my three files:

main.cpp:

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include "functions.h"

using namespace std;

int main() {}

functions.h:

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
void functionSplit(string str);

functions.cpp:

#include "functions.h"
using namespace std;

void functionSplit(string str)
{
	vector<string> vec;
	vec.push_back("");
	vec.push_back("");
	vec.push_back("");
	int position = 0;

  	for (size_t i=0; i < str.length(); i++)
    {
		if (str[i] != '(' || str[i] != ')')
		{
			vec[position] +=str[i];
			if (str[i] == ')')
				position++;
		}
    }
	vec[0].erase(vec[0].length()-1);
	vec[0].erase(0,1);
	cout << vec[0] << endl;
}

I know it isn't nessecary to include header files and all this stuff in this small project, but I just want to learn it.

These are the errors:

>> 'vector' : undeclared identifier
Don't you think that should tell you something about your program? Did you look to see where vector is declared?

Just in case you really have no clue you have to include <vector> header file.

Thank you very much.
