    what is wrong with this: (when i run my program it gets to the while loop and stops, it stays in the program but doesn't do anything)

    [code]

    while (!ifIn.eof()); // I think the problem is here
    {
    int i=0;

    //-------then rest of code---------

    well what exactly are you trying to do? input into a char? string array?

    Read the FAQ about eof() and feof() etc.

    While loops look like this...

    Code:
    while (condition_true)
    { // do this}
    not
    Code:
    while (condition_true);
    {// cant get here}
    Free the weed!! Class B to class C is not good enough!!
    And the FAQ is here :- http://faq.cprogramming.com/cgi-bin/smartfaq.cgi
