Thread: Using files: Wacked Question

Code:

#include <abbrev.h>

main()
{
	char user[2], vuser[2], pass, vpass;

	ifstream fin("C:\\users.abc");
	fin >> user;
	fin >> pass;

   	fin.close();

	cout<<"Please enter your name:\n";
	cin>>vuser;
	cout<<"\nPlease enter yourt password:\n";
	cin>>vpass;

	if(pass == vpass)
	{
		if(user == vuser)
		{
			cout<<"Welcome";
		}
		else
		{
			cout<<"Wrong name";
		}
	}
	else if(user == vuser && pass != vpass)
	{
		cout<<"Wrong Password";
	}
	else if(user != vuser && pass != vpass)
	{
		cout<<"Wrong name and password";
	}
	else
	{
		cout<<"Something went Wrong!!";
	}
	cin>>vpass;

	return 0;
}

this code runs with no compile errors, but it always turns out as "Something went Wrong!!". I checked and "user" has the first 4 letters of the username and cuts off the fifth letter and replaces it with the password. WTF???

Whoa whoa. What is this abbrev.h and C-style main?

<code>
#include <iostream.h> // needed for cout and cin
#include <fstream.h> // for File I/O
#include <windows.h> // for Sleep and exit

int i = 0;
main()
{

char user[10], vuser[10], pass[10], vpass[10];

ifstream fin;
fin.open("C:\\users.abc");
fin >> user;
fin >> pass;
fin.close();

cout<<"Please enter your name:\n";
cin>>vuser;
for(i=0;i!=10;i++) //it will loop 9 times
{
if(user[i] == vuser[i]) //instead of saying user == vuser which doesn't work
{ //scans through each character in both arrays making sure they're correct
}
else
{
cout<<"Wrong User Name"<<endl; //if it isn't correct it'll exit
Sleep(500); //pauses the program for 500 milliseconds which is half a second
exit(0); //exits the program

}
}
cout<<"\nPlease enter your password:\n"; //same as above just for password
cin>>vpass;

for(i=0;i!=10;i++)
{
if(vpass[i] == pass[i])
{
}
else
{
cout<<"Wrong Password"<<endl;
Sleep(500);
exit(0);

}
}

cout<<"Welcome "<<user<<endl;
Sleep(1500);

return 0;
}

Make sure you have the right includes and you can never of what i know of compare correctly character strings.
Hope This was helpful. The Only Problem is that the File that is compiled is pretty big it's possible to make it smaller but i didn't want to muck around that much witht he code.
