receiving error "no matching function for call to 'getline(std::ifstream&, int&, char)'"

   getline(FileIn, si.ri.monthsLeft '\n');        //to here




}



void OutputCustInfo(ifstream& FileIn, ofstream& FileOut, subscriberInfo& si)
{
   if(si.ri.monthsLeft=0)                     //here down to
   {
      FileOut << string(55,'*') << endl;
      FileOut << si.sn.first << " " << si.sn.last << "(" << si.sn.custID << ")" << endl;
      FileOut << sn.ad.address2 << endl;
      FileOut << sn.ad.city << ", " << sn.ad.state <<sn.ad.zipcode << endl;
      FileOut << "The last renewal notice was sent on " <<sn.ri.da.month << " " << sn.ri.da.day << ", " << sn.ri.da.year << endl;          //here
      FileOut << string(55,'*') << endl;
   }
}

I can't figure out what is causing this error. It occurs in the first function where all the getline calls are. The compiler is specifically calling out the third, fifth, and last one, but I'm pretty sure there is something wrong with all of them.

You are passing a variable of type int to getline in:

getline(FileIn, si.sn.custID, '\n');

That's a problem.

Use:

std::string custID;
getline(FileIn, custID, '\n');
si.sn.custID = std::stoi(custID);

You have same problem with:

getline(FileIn, si.ad.zipcode, '\n');

and

getline(FileIn, si.ri.monthsLeft '\n');

Also, the line

if(si.ri.monthsLeft=0)

is wrong. I suspect it is a typo. You need to use == instead of =

if(si.ri.monthsLeft == 0)
