    Translator problems (again)

    I am trying to encode and decode user inputted text, and from a file. I have the "language" all written, but I don't know how I would apply it to the code. I have written the general layout for the file, it just doesn't do what I want it to. Any help would be appreciated.

    dable_yayooh == w
    yayooh == u
    Uhm, I pronounce my U's and W's as "yoo" and "dub-ul yoo". Your system though, w/e.

    I have the "language" all written, but I don't know how I would apply it to the code.
    it just doesn't do what I want it to.
    Just looking at your code briefly, and your vague question, what you want to do is be able to open the alphabet file and decode text/files using it?

    Well, first thing you would have to do is load the alphabet file, parse it line by line, loading it into some kind of data structure, then ask for the input, text/file. As you read through the input, you need to search your structure and find the right text to encode/decode the input.

    I made it "yayhoo" because "you" would be easier to understand.
    Thank you mrafcho001. That really helped a lot!

    You realize every place you did an "if (letter == symbol) cout << symbol, L33tblah << symbol, you could have just had a global "else" clause that did cout << letter and L33tblah << letter?

    That'd have saved you a LOT of lines of code.
