I just wrote this tiny program just to try out my newly gained knowledge on text files, but I don't think its anything to do with the text file part which is causing the error:
38: parse error before `else'

Here is the code which I am having problems with...

cout << "\nWould you like to save your document?[1]Yes [2].No";
int answer;
cin >> answer;

if (answer = 2);
{
remove (FileName.c_str());
}
else;
{
cout << "You may now exit";
}


}


Thanks

you have this

if (answer = 2) {

.
.
.

}

else;

{ .... }

i tried this

if (answer == 2) ...... else ...

hence> you dont need the brackets, you only have one statement after the if ()!

else does not need a semi-colon either

and the if () does not use a semi-colon either

only use brackets for multiple statements like so

if (x == 1) {
temp = 4;
x = 5;
}

but for one its

if (x == 1) temp = 4;

hope this helps
