No matching function for call to 'get line' while exploding

Question

No matching function for call to 'getline' when using this code:

ifstream myfile;
string line;
string line2;

myfile.open("example.txt");
while (! myfile.eof() )
{
    getline (myfile, line);
    getline (line, line2, '|');
    cout<<line2;
}

In the example.txt i have info like this:

1|Name1|21|170
2|Name2|34|168

etc...

I really want to get the line till the | char...

I try few explode functions but they are only in string type but i need:

1st to be int

2nd to be char

3rd and 4th to be float.

It's really complicated that i want to do, and i can't explain it well. I hope someone will understand me.

Answer 1

getline receives as first argument an instance of the template basic_istream. string doesn't meet that requirement.

You could use stringstream:

#include <sstream>
#include <fstream>
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
    string line;
    string line2;
    ifstream myfile("test/test.txt");

    while (getline(myfile, line))
    {
        stringstream sline(line);
        while (getline(sline, line2, '|'))
            cout << line2 << endl;
    }

    return 0;
}
