    Help me with the do-while loop plz

    My problem is in the while loop i.e from line # 32-56

    Everything is working fine except until i input the filename that is present in that folder but not in ".txt" format.

    i want to receive error that file is not in ".txt"
    and if it is in.txt and not exist then a seperate error that file n/A.

    and to stop the loop if the file is in .txt format and exists there.. help me plz

    Maybe something like this:
    Code:
        while (true)
        {
            cout << "Enter a file name or complete path or 0 to exit:" << endl;
            getline(cin,filename);
            if (filename == "0")
                exit(1);
            else if (filename.find(".txt") != filename.size() - 4)
                cout << "-Only \".txt\" files are suported\n\n";
            else
            {
                in_orig.open(filename.c_str());
                if (!in)
                    cout << "-File doesnot exist at the current location.\n"<< endl;
                else
                    break; // exit loop
            }
        }
