You are using UNIX functions, not standard C or C++ functions. It won't run on other platforms, like Windows. Do you want this?

cctype.h is not a header. It's either ctype.h if you're using C or cctype if you're using C++.

I forgot to mention that I want to use unix functions (note to self.. they are not methods...) doh :P It can be written in either C or C++, but as you say, seeing as how the chunk of code I got ahold of and tried to put to use was written in C rather than C++, it would indeed make sense to write it in C :S. Thank you for pointing out my mistake with the header.

I guess I will repost this query in the C forum and put a link to the new thread in this post (I will shortly edit it). My apologies for posting in the wrong place.

***I have now posted this same query in the C forums See here. ***

I would be greatful if someone could delete this thread
