Getline issues

mackw44 (29)
Im trying to write a class that will equip an item (move it to equipt in a text document from inventory) but when ever i run the program i get the error: no matching function for call to 'getline(std::istringstream&, int&)' also another error: no match for 'operator==' in 'name==item'

I have all of the includes and variables listed. Here is the code:

getline(liness,item);

The second parameter, item, is an int. getline doesn't take an int as the second parameter.

http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/string/getline/

if (name == item)
name is a string, item is an int. C++ does not know what to do with the == operator when you've got an int on one side and a string on the other. It only knows how to use the == operator with objects of the same type. You can either program such an operation yourself, or change your code so that the two sides are of the same type.
coder777 (8442)
It is what the error tells you: item is an int and getline expects a string. And you cannot compare a string and an int.

Use << or >> if you want to associate an int with a stream. And then with the help of a stringstream you can convert int to string or vice versa
