array sort output problem

[radiantarchon28]

okay here is my problem now

if the input is

penny
henry
george
sammy
vanne

then the output is

george
henry
penny
sammy

where did vanne go?

my program as of now

//this program 
//
//program4.cpp
//my name. (im not going to tell you this)

#include <fstream> 
#include <iostream>
#include <string>


using namespace std; // using standard namespace

int main ()
{
	char file[20];
	string str;
	string stri[100];
	int quit =24;
	cout << "enter the name of the input file in the format filename.txt: " ; //user determines the file to write to
	cin >> file;
	cout << endl;
	fstream myfil (file);
    if (myfil.is_open())
	{
		quit=0;
	}
	else quit=1;
	while (quit==1) // keeps the user from trying to write in a close file
    {
	
		cout << "file could not be opened. enter the name of another file in the format filename.txt:" ; //error message
		cin >> file;
		fstream myfil ("example.txt");
		if (myfil.is_open())
		{
			quit=0;
		}
	}

	for (int x=1; x<=100; x++)
	myfil >> stri[x-1];


	bool swap;
	string temp;
	int bottom = 99;     
	do
	{
		swap = false;
		for (int count = 0; count <= bottom; count++)
		{
			if (stri[count][0] > stri[count+1][0])
			{	          
			   temp = stri[count];  
			   stri[count] = stri[count+1];
			   stri[count+1] = temp;
			   swap = true; // indicates that a swap occurred
			}
		}
            bottom--;   
	            
	} while(swap != false);
              // loop repeats until a pass through the array with
	          // no swaps occurs



	cout << "enter the name of the output file in the format filename.txt: " ; //user determines the file to write to
	cin >> file;
	
	ofstream myfile (file);
    if (myfile.is_open())
	{
		quit=0;
	}
	else quit=1;
	while (quit==1) // keeps the user from trying to write in a close file
    {
	
		cout << "file could not be opened. enter the name of another file in the format filename.txt: " ; //error message
		cin >> file;
		ofstream myfile ("example.txt");
		if (myfile.is_open())
		{
			quit=0;
		}
	}

	for (int y =0; y<100; y++)
	
	{
	str = stri[y] ;
	if (str!="")
	myfile <<str << endl;
	
	}
	
	
		
	
		 
	myfile.close();
	myfil.close();// close the file
	return 0;
}

The answer is simple: Buffer overruns.

Changes both <='s to <'s

Also start x at zero, and just use x instead of x-1. Same as your y loop.
