std::string line; 
while(std::getline(stream, line)) {
  auto str = std::stringstream{std::move(line)};
  std::string word; 
  while (std::getline(str, word, ',')) {
    // do stuff with each word 
  }
}

Im doing it in a function like this:

void gatherData(Data * p, numLines){
    for (int i = 0; i < numLines; i++){
        getLine(input, 80, ',')
    }    
}```

where does the getLine store what it gets?

[zealous fjord]

That won't even compile.

[gray imp]

[zealous fjord]

What's the problem?

[gray imp]

its giving an error

why wont this work

[zealous fjord]

Ok so fix the error.

[gray imp]

please help me

[zealous fjord]

You do realize I can't do anything without the error?

[zealous fjord]

That's a lot of spaghetti.

Don't use new in modern C++.

Just use a damn vector.

[zealous fjord]

It's telling you it's not a pointer.

[gray imp]

new is all i know as of now

[zealous fjord]

Use . not ->

[gray imp]

that wont work either

look

[zealous fjord]

So learn... Using new/delete has been obsolete since 2011.

And using a new array has been obsolete since 1998.

[zealous fjord]

You can't call getline on a char array, use std::string.

[gray imp]

Its a struct though

[zealous fjord]

So?

[gray imp]

so how do i change it to that if its a struct

do i need to #include something?

[zealous fjord]

#include <string>

[gray imp]

how do I make my char into a string

[zealous fjord]

A single char?

[gray imp]

cstring

[zealous fjord]

Just assign it.

Or pass it in the constructor, either way.
