Command line compiler help needed!!!!

I'm trying to compile the below code with the command line compiler but I get a bunch of errors Errors like 'System' is not a class or namespace name
Can the command line compiler be used on this type of code

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
using namespace System::IO;
using namespace System::Text::RegularExpressions;
void main (void)
{
int index = 0;
String ^line;
Regex^ rx = gcnew Regex(",")
StreamReader^ sr = gcnew StreamReader(testfile.tif);
while ( line = sr->ReadLine() )
{
array<int>^ ia = rx->Split(line);
}
int a=array[index++];
int b=array[index++];
int c=array[index++];
if (a <= 42)
{
b--;
if (c > 1444)
c--;
}

else if (a > 42)
{
do {

a += b;

}
while (b <= 1000);
}
return;
}

Hi Kybalion,

It looks like you've almost got it. Before your using namespace statements you need to do:

#using <System.dll>

This should enable the the compiler to find the RegularExpressions namespace. And when you're referring to your array, make sure you call it by its declared name "ia" and not "array".

Good luck!

Thanks Jamie! That got it :) I also had to add
#using <mscorlib.dll>
Why don't I have to add that to code in the IDE Either way thanks again!

I've been trying to read up on the command line compiler but havent made too much progress.
I've followed every step at: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms235639(VS.80).aspx

I'm using the Visual Studio 2005 cl.exe and the command cl /clr test.cpp

At the top of the code I've included:
using namespace System;
using namespace System::IO;
using namespace System::Text::RegularExpressions;

The errors are "RegularExpressions : is not a member of System::Text"
"RegularExpressions : a namespace with this name does not exist"
"'array' : undeclared identifier."
Even though I declared array within the code as "array<int>^ ia = rx->Split(line);"

I'm using cl.exe. The command I'm using is "C:\cl test.cpp". I'll admit, I'm pretty much a novice at this. I added the first four lines hoping the compiler would then recognise String,Regex, StreamReader etc...

Well, you should show us the command line you are using.

Why are you including <stdio.h> and <stdlib.h> Are you trying to mix C and C++/CLI Moreover, both in C and C++ standards, function main() returns int, not void.
