Cowsay C++ version !

[Turk4n]

Hey guys I found a C++ version of Cowsay so enjoy !
Also credit goes to the creator !

C++ pastebin - collaborative debugging tool

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
 
class Cowsay {
	
	public:
		Cowsay() : cowsay(""), dashLength(""){}
		~Cowsay(){}
	void printCow()
	{
		using namespace std;
		cout << "--" << dashLength << "--" << endl;
		cout << "< " << cowsay << " >" << endl;
		cout << "--" << dashLength << "--" << endl;
		cout << "  |  ^__^" << endl;
		cout << "   - (oo)|_______" << endl;
		cout << "     (__)|       )/|/" << endl;
		cout << "         ||----w |" << endl;
		cout << "        ||     ||" << endl;
	}
	void getInput(const int &argc, char **argv)
	{
		for(int i=1;i<argc;i++){
			cowsay+=(std::string)argv[i];
			int lenArgv = strlen(argv[i]);
			for(int j=0;j<lenArgv;j++)
				dashLength+="-";
			if(i+1<argc){
				cowsay+=" ";
				dashLength+="-";
			}
		}	
	}
	private:
		
		std::string cowsay;
		std::string dashLength;
};

int main(int argc, char* argv[]){
	Cowsay cowsay;
	cowsay.getInput(argc, argv);
	cowsay.printCow();
	return 0;
}

I have no idea why it might not work for you, am not the creator, just a friend that forwarded it to here.

You have to use g++ or include the C++ standard libraries... you've also got to name it ".cpp" instead of ".c" or gcc will assume it's a C source file.

g++ test.exe -o cowsay.cpp

OR

gcc test.exe -o cowsay.cpp -lstdc++

Yes, didn't see he did it wrong
