Thread: Making a simple encrypter

This encrypter only has problems when your message has a space in it:

Code:

#include <iostream.h>
#include <fstream.h>
int main()
{
    char string[257], note2[257];
    int b;
    ofstream a_file("note.txt", ios::trunc);
    cout<<"Write your note:"<<endl;
    cin.getline(string, 256, '\n');
    cout<<"loading..."<<endl;
    for(int a=0;a<strlen(string);a++)
    {
        b=(int)string[a];
        note2[a]=(char)(b+39);
    }
    a_file<<note2;
    a_file.close();
    cout<<"Your note is now encrypted into the file: 'note.txt'"<<endl;
    cin.get();
    return 0;
}

and here is the decrypter:

Code:

#include <iostream.h>
#include <fstream.h>
int main()
{
    char string[257], note2[257];
    int b;
    ifstream b_file("note.txt"); 
    b_file>>string;
    cout<<"'Note.txt' is now being decrypted.\nPlease wait..."<<endl;
    for(int a=0;a<strlen(string);a++)
    {
        b=(int)string[a];
        note2[a]=(char)(b-39);
    }
    cout<<note2<<endl;
    b_file.close();
    cin.get();
    return 0;
}

Please tell me if anything is wrong.

What would you write for getline, and the problem is it has extra characters at the end when you type a space
Thanks for putting up with a complete noob!
