    Just paste this into your editor..

    Hi everyone,
    I've written some code for a quiz program, but I don't have a proper compiler right now to test it on (the one I downloaded earlier today is useless). So if anyone could please paste the following code into their compiler editor, run it, and tell me if there are any problems, I'd really appreciate it.
    The file quiz.txt contains this (with the exact format and no blank lines):

    3. What is the purpose of LMI?
    A. Informs the hub which PVCs are available
    B. Determines the operational status of PVCs
    C. Ensures the PVC shutdown during inactivity
    D. Eliminates the need for DLCIs
    B
    4. What does Frame Relay use to prevent routing loops?
    A. Holddown timers
    B. Lower convergence times
    C. Increased router updates
    D. Split horizon
    D
    5. How does PPP handle individual station addresses?
    A. PPP does not assign individual station addresses.
    B. The user assigns addresses for PPP.
    C. PPP gets addresses from a DHCP server.
    D. Routers assign PPP addresses.
    A
    6. What does remote monitoring use to gather data?
    A. SNMP agent
    B. RMON probe
    C. SNTP server
    D. MIB
    B
    7. Using Cisco IOS release 11.2 or later, how is the LMI type set?
    A. Autosensing

    oops..

    I forgot to paste the actual code here!..
    PHP Code:
    #include <iostream.h>

    struct qtype {

    Hi, i'm trying to work on the same sort of thing as you are and I think your code is great. Could you please explain each line of this part of it for me? Thanks.

    Code:
    void getquestion (qtype item[12]);
       ifstream sourcefile ("quiz.txt");
       char line [80];
       int c;
       int count = 0;
       
       if (sourcefile.fail())
          cerr << "Error opening quiz.txt...";
       else
          (while ! sourcefile.eof()) {
             sourcefile.getline (line, sizeof(line));
         strcpy (item[count].question, line);
             for (c=0; c<4; c++) {
            sourcefile.getline (line, sizeof(line));
            strcpy (item[count].answers[c], line);
         }
         sourcefile.getline (line, sizeof(line));
         strcpy (item[count].rightanswer, line);
         count ++;
          }    
       sourcefile.close();
       return;
    }

    umm can i ask where you're located if you don't mind?

    to explain that function.. what it does is it reads the file line by line and stores every question's first line in the 'question' field of the struct, the next four lines as the four 'answers', and the final line as the 'rightanswer'.
    Did you try running it on your compiler? Did it work fine?

    That's all I need to know...

    Oh that just involves pasting the questions and everything I wrote into a .txt (notepad) file, saving it as quiz.txt, and making sure it's in the same folder as the program.

    I'd really really appreciate it if you tried running that.

    Oh, I just noticed why.
    At the end of function getquestion's header, please change that semi-colon to a {.
    Does it work well now? the output..?

    Thanks a lot.

    I don't follow you........just update it to the code you posted above and then tell me you did so and I'll copy and run everything again.

    This is the line that the compiler flags........


    strcpy (item[count].rightanswer, line);

    Hey have you tried DevC++ at bloodshed? It's quite good although I had some problems with it today.
