Did you correctly include your code within your message, or did the angle brackets get chopped off? A map needs two template parameters, for example: std::map<int,string> This is the map key, and the map item. If you have done this then repost your code and escape the < and > (or check the 'do not treat <'s as HTML) and we can take another look.

char str[] is not a legal variable declaration - you need to specify the array size. --Mike-- Ericahist | CP SearchBar v2.0.2 | Homepage | RightClick-Encrypt | 1ClickPicGrabber Kosh reminded me of some of the prima-donna programmers I've worked with. Knew everything but when you asked them a question; never gave you a straight answer.   -- Michael P. Butler in the Lounge
