error in designing a class

[gacaccia]

hi all,

i'm learning c/c++ right now and was trying to make a "logFile" class. it's far from finished, but i keep getting an error message for one line and i don't understand what it wants. here's my code so far...

#pragma once

class logFile
{
public:
	logFile(char*);
	~logFile(void);

	void write(char*);
	void writeln(char*);

private:
	ofstream itsFile;
	char itsName[30];
};

when i go to build this, it keeps erroring on the "ofstream itsFile;" line, saying "C2146: syntax error : missing ';' before identifier 'itsFile'".

how do i fix this?

thanks,

glenn

ok, never mind. i was including the fstream library in the .cpp part of the class instead of in the .h part of the class. works now.
