C-style or function-style cast within a class method
This is my problem;
error C2664: 'isspace' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'char *' to 'int'
This conversion requires a reinterpret_cast, a C-style cast or function-style cast
Error executing cl.exe.
This is the section of code;
if(isspace(pSSNumber[i])){
Note: pSSNumber is char* class_name::pSSNumber.
This is the solution, maybe?;
if(isspace(int(pSSNumber[i
Note: the int() cast.
My question is; is there a better solution. It turns out that I have to do a cast on many statements. Seems to me that there should be a global solution.

how about writing your own isspace() function that take char*

Are you sure, pSSNumber's type is char* .
I almost think, in your program pSSNumber's type is char** .
Could you check it .

>> how about writing your own isspace() function that take char*
Because char* is a pointer not a char. char* variables are not used to store characters so writing a function that checked to see if its value was equivalent to a space character would be pointless.

I believe that Exceter is right. pSSNumber is a two demensional array. I had move this section of code from main(){} and did not think of the input statment for the array. I will try Exceter's solution, then issue the points. I'm new at this, therefore writing my own isspace would require more skill than what I have.
Sidebar: I did not get an email telling me that there were responses. I wonder why? Also, I saw that the status was/is <unlocked> what does this mean? I read the links for "New EEs" but have not come accross its meaning.
I hope and I think that the question is still open.

Exeter, you're smart and quick, thanks.
It worked. Silly me for thinking that the problem was more difficult. I have another question, which I will post tomorrow. Once again thanks.
