dealing with struct

fabiolanza (11)
Hello guys,

I have the following code for .h e .cpp of a class.

In the .h I declare a struct "metaTable" in which I need to use in the .cpp, but for somehow I can`t use it just by calling it`s name. I also have to declare it on file .cpp. The problem is, I can`t create a vector of "metaTable" in .cpp because it returns me the error 'metaTable was not declared in this scope'.

Anyone knows how to solve this?

FileStream.h

#include <string>

#ifndef FILESTREAM_H
#define	FILESTREAM_H

class FileStream {
public:
    FileStream();
    FileStream(const FileStream& orig);
    virtual ~FileStream();
    
    struct metaTable {
    int numberOfFields;
    std::string tableFileName;
    std::string tableName;
    std::string fieldName[4];
};

    void loadDatabase(std::string databaseMetadata);
    void loadTables(metaTable metadata);

private:

};

#endif	/* FILESTREAM_H */

Since it's defined in FileStream you need to use it like a namespace when defining it outside of the class.
