"n00b" while statement problem

Hi am trying to write a statement that checks a string using a while statment.

Basically while varA is not equal to "a" or "b" or "c" say "not a, b or c. try again"

Here is my first go.

Code:

---

while (thing.me != "A" || "B" || "C") {
                cout << "Not A B or C" << endl << "try it again" << endl;
                cin >> thing.me;
        };

---

This does not work. If I take out the B and C bit then it works. If not it always says that it isn't A B or C. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

We wish a compiler was that smart.

while (thing.me != "A" && thing.me != "B" && thing.me != "C")

Hehe thanks very much. I am sure you will be hearing a lot more from me with more obvious questions .

Thanks again
