    If you're using a string then you must add a special extra arguement when you file1.open( )

    I don't know...

    Code:
    cerr<<"Input file \"videoDat.txt\" does not exist"<<endl;
    is certainly wrong.

    }//end for
    is ending a WHILE loop. (no, the comment doesn't affect the code)

    >>why isnt it reading the info from customer.txt???<<
    Care to tell us what is wrong? What the program is doing? Care to read the board rules?

    >> If you're using a string then you must add a special extra arguement when you file1.open( )<<
    WTF?
    Away.

    yes, the createvideostore function is supposed to read all the info from customerDat.txt and input it correctly. I have no clue why it isnt doing so.

    okay i figured out what was going wrong, it now inputs the name of the clients but not the name of the movies they have rented out. im uploading the modified files.
