Contents of string array not printing. Printing location insted

[Gondee]

Hello, first post =)

I'm making a tennis stats program, simple one. and i have data about each point in 2 arrays, each 3d and each string. When i print the contents in the program itself, i get nothing, a blank space. And when i write it to a file i just get the location (I think thats what it is). Here is the code... Sorry its long

#include "globals.h"
#include <iostream>
#include <cstring>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <fstream>

using namespace std;

void MrData();
string toss;
string winnerOfToss;
string FirstServe;


string setwin[12][10][9];
string action[12][10][9];


string setwinner;
string choice;
string returner;
string pointwinner;

//Scoring

int serverscore = 0;
int returnerscore = 0;
int whosserving =1;



//-------

int gamescore;
int pointover =5;

     system("cls");

And in the file, i get 0x445080 every time...

how do i get it to display just the contents. And nothing more

[eker676]

I didn't read all of the code but before the variable that prints out the scores try adding a *.

Like this:

cout << *my_variable << endl;

[Gondee]

I tried that, and i just got a " no match for 'operator*' in '*setwin[setcount][gamecount][pointcount]' " error. I have never hurd of that code. Isnt that a pointer thing?

Should i be posting this in the normal windows section?

[Gumbercules]

I noticed you didn't include <string>, but <cstring>. I know in visual studios when I've used string and forgot to include it, it didn't give me an error but apparently used something that doesn't act as STL's string.

[Gondee]

That was it. Thanks Gumbercules!! I don't know why that would be the cause thought. Hummm

thanks for the help, i appreciate it =)
