C2143: syntax error : missing ';' before '.'

[FrankyTheFish]

Hey guys, I have a quick question, I'm working with SDL and SDL mixer to get music working in our game. Right now I'm trying to create a way for the users to customize the sounds in the game through a text file.

When using ifstream I'm getting this error, I hgave no idea what started to cause this and was wondering if any of you know what is doing this.

c:\Documents and Settings\FrancoisMessier\My Documents\Drive_F\Drive_F\SDL\sdlBitmaps.cpp(24): error C2143: syntax error : missing ';' before '.'

Thanks for anyone that can take the time to answer these questions. I really appreciate it.

You have to put code like that inside a function.
