Thread: my if statements

i cant find my problem, it says "missing ) before string"
but i think i have all my ')' 's

Code:

	if((convert == "edit") || (convert == "Edit") || (convert == "EDIT"))
	{
	edit_file.open(tfilename.c_str(), ios::app);
	cho = 1;
goto theend;
	}
	else if((convert == "new") || (convert == "New") || (convert == "NEW"))
	{
	new_file.open(tfilename.c_str());
	cho = 2;
goto theend;
	}
	else if((convert == "read") || (convert == "Read") || (convert "READ"))
	{
	read_file.open(tfilename.c_str(), ios::in);
	cho = 3;
goto theend;
	}
	else if((convert == "exit") || (convert =="Exit") || (convert == "EXIT"))
	{
		cho = 4;
goto theend;
	}

o yea, on a side note,,,would this work , right after this

Code:

		cho = (int)convert.c_str()[0];
