That is the same thing as the dot operator. To access a variable in a
structure you must use the dot operator: mystruct.variable
If the structure variable is defined as a pointer you must use '->'.
assume mystruct is now a pointer: mystruct->variable
Maybe trying an online C++ course would help...There is one at
www.waite.com\ezone which is really good. It has lessons, quizes, chat and
mailing lists. You must buy the book to take the course though. I think
you would find the answers to almost any question about c there. I mean
things like the '->' operator are the backbone of c and if you don't know
what they are, then you need to study up. I mean is is a lot more
gratifying if you know what something is and you dont have to ask someone.
I don't mean to be flaming anyone, but just trying to help find a way
to get to know c or c++ a little bit better...
