Problem reading files

[SkyRaign]

infile.open(input)			
if(!infile)			
	{							
	cout<<"Invalid file name.  Try again."<<endl;
	}

Here, I am trying to read the file designated by "input".
Infile is an instance of the ifstream class.

When I enter a valid filename, everything works fine, but if I enter an invalid file name, the program reprompts to enter a filename, and all subsequent attempts fail to open the file, even if the input is cleared and the file name is correct. I know for SURE that the problem is in this section of code; I do not know how to remedy it though.

failflag is set. infile.clear() resets error flags.

[Salem]

infile.clear();

Do this before trying to reopen the file.

Meh - 2nd time today I've been beaten ...
