C++ ignore function won't work

the two lines with the stars i'm getting errors on. if i wanted to pass the entire string in the getline how would i do that?

also, why is the next line invalid?

    // read the bytes incoming from the client:
    char thisChar = client.read();
    char str[10];
    getline(thisChar, str[]);             *
    thisChar.ignore();                     *

thischar is of the datatype char which has no methods at all like classes can have.
thischar can only hold ONE character, so extracting a line from it is .... magic?

you should post your whole sketch to get better feedback as I cannot really see what you try to accomplish.

What the **** is getline() and why do you think anyone would automatically know what it is!

Why do you think that a simple char can have a method?

Mark

The getline() function has been around since the old System V days. C++ has overloaded the function so there are more flavors than before. Google has over 100,000 hits on it.

avr-gcc includes only a stripped down version of the C++ libraries, and I don't believe that istream is one of them.
