Staffmemberparser class
the staffmemberparser class is a utility class that will be used to create a pointer to a staff member object (one of a volunteer object, a full time employee object, and an hourly employee object) from a parsable string. the staffmemberparser class object will not be instantiated. it must have the following public function:
static staffmember * parsestringtomember(string linetoparse)
the parsestringtomember function's argument will be a string in the following format:
for a volunteer, type/firstname/lastname/employeeid
for a full time employee, type/firstname/lastname/emloyeeid/r ate/bonus
for an hourly employee, type/firstname/lastname/emloyeeid/r ate/hoursworked
the staffmemberparser will parse this string, pull out the information, allocates memory dynamically to a new object of one of volunteer, fulltimeemployee, or hourlyemployee using their constructor with attributes of the object (depending on whether the first substring is volunteer, fulltimeemployee, or hourlyemployee), and return it to the calling function. the type will always be present and always be one of volunteer, fulltimeemployee, and hourlyemployee. you may add other functions to the volunteer, fulltimeemployee, and hourlyemployee classes in order to make your life easier.
