I'm trying to write a program that stores usernames and passwords. So I have created a Record class. Each record has an id, title, username, and password field. I want to write each record to a text file.

However, I am having some issues. When I compile I get the following errors.

'Record::getTitle': non-standard syntax; use '&' to create a pointer to member

'Record::getUsername': non-standard syntax; use '&' to create a pointer to member

'Record::getPassword': non-standard syntax; use '&' to create a pointer to member

The problem:

writeToFile(firstRecord.getTitle, firstRecord.getUsername, firstRecord.getPassword);

The getTitle(and others) return a string. So I am not sure why this isn't working. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Complete code (so far) below..

#include <iostream>

#include <string>

#include <fstream>

#include <map>

#include <functional>

using namespace std;



string GetInput();

void MainMenu();

void Title();

void AddRecord();

void writeToFile(string title, string username, string password);



class Record {



private:



    string id;

    string title;

    string username;

    string password;

    static int numberOfRecords;



public:



    void setTitle(string title) {

        this->title = title;

    }

    string getTitle() {

        return title;

    }



    void setUsername(string username) {

        this->username = username;

    }

    string getUsername() {

        return username;

    }



    void setPassword(string password) {

        this->password = password;

    }

    string getPassword() {

        return password;

    }



    static int GetNumberOfRecords() {

        return numberOfRecords;

    }

};



struct MenuAction {



    string description;

    function<void()> action;

};



static const map <string, MenuAction> actionTable{



    { "1",{ "Add entry", () { AddRecord(); } } },

    { "2",{ "Edit entry", () { cout << "Edit entry" << "n";  } } },

    { "q",{ "Quit", () { cout << "Quit" << "n";  } } }

};



int main() {



    Title();

    MainMenu();



    return 0;

}



void Title() {



    cout << "======================================n"

            "|              Database              |n"

            "======================================nn";

}



void MainMenu() {



    for (auto const& x : actionTable) {

        cout << x.first << ". " << (x.second).description << "n";

    }



    string input;



    while (actionTable.count(input) == 0) {

        input = GetInput();

    }



    actionTable.at(input).action();

}



void AddRecord() {



    cout << "============= Add Record ============" << endl << endl;



    string id;

    string title;

    string username;

    string password;



    cout << "Title: ";

    getline(cin, title);

    cout << "Username: ";

    getline(cin, username);

    cout << "Password: ";

    getline(cin, password);



    Record firstRecord;

    firstRecord.setTitle(title);

    firstRecord.setUsername(username);

    firstRecord.setPassword(password);



    writeToFile(firstRecord.getTitle, firstRecord.getUsername, firstRecord.getPassword);

}



string GetInput() {



    string s = "";



    cout << ">> ";

    getline(cin, s);



    return s;

}



void writeToFile(string title, string username, string password) {



    ofstream outFile;



    outFile.open("database.txt", ios_base::app);

    outFile << title << "t" << username << "t" << password << "n";



    cout << "============= Record Added To Database ============" << endl;

}

Feel free to comment or nag other portions of my code :)

firstRecord.getTitle, firstRecord.getUsername, firstRecord.getPassword

The params you are passing into your function are not properties, they are functions (getters) of your object.

You need to access them like functions:
writeToFile(firstRecord.getTitle(), firstRecord.getUsername(), firstRecord.getPassword());
