Vector Iterator

[xander333]

Hi dear C++ community!

I'm facing a little problem with a searching algorithm.
This is my code:

void deletePerson(vector<persoon> &lijst)
{
    system("CLS");
    string contact;
    cout<<"Please enter the name of the contact you'd like to delete:\n";
    getline(cin, contact);

    for (vector<persoon>::iterator i = lijst.begin(); i != lijst.end(); i++)
    {
        if (lijst[i].getNaam() == contact)
        {
            lijst.erase(i);
            break;
        }
    }
}

It should search in the vector of person classes for someone with the same name as string contact. I know lijst.erase() requires an iterator. But how can I access a member function from the class the iterator is pointing to?
lijst[i].getNaam()
gives me an error...


Thank you!

try:
if( (*i).getNaam() == contact )

Thanks I'll see if it works :D

EDIT: Thanks so much! Works like a charm. I already thought i needed to use an asterix, but I didn't use the parentheses :)
