Thread: Newbie: Some help with ASCII

Alrighty then ive made some changes. Fist of all i descided to use strings instead of arrays after all. Alot easier once i got the hang of it. cin.get works now too since there will never bee excess input, still in the stream. Also, it now handles a file instead of a direct user input. So you have to make a file for the program to work.

The problem now is that the encryption doesnt work properly. I made a file containing the text:

Exclusive-OR (XOR).
Encryption and decryption.

The problem is that the probgram doesnt seem to encrypt all the character. I suppose it has something to do with the key, but how do i work around or fix it?

The program code:

Code:

#include <iostream>
#include <conio.h>
#include <string>
#include <fstream>
using namespace std;

char key[14]="ABCDEFGHIJKLM";

int main()
{
    char ch;
    
    ifstream in("c:\\XOR.txt");
    string input;

    while(1) 
    {
        char ch = in.get();
        if(ch == EOF)
            break;
        input.push_back(ch);
    }

    cout << endl << "Encypted: \n";
    for(int x=0; x<input.size(); x++)
    {
        input[x] = input[x]^key[x];
        cout << input[x];
    }
    cout << endl;

    cout << endl << "Decrypted: \n";  
    for (int x=0; x<input.size(); x++)
    {
        input[x] = input[x]^key[x];
        cout << input[x];
    }
    cout << endl << endl;

    
    cout << "Press Enter" << endl;
    cout << endl;
    cin.get();
    return(0);
}
