Thread: Reprompt File Request

My code reads something like

Code:

ifstream fin;

cout << "enter filename:";
cin >> filename;

a = OpentheFile(filename, fin);

the return type of OpentheFile is a bool. If I return a '1' (TRUE) then the file is opened & stuff is done. However, if I return a '0' (FALSE) - meaning the file was nonexistant, how can I reprompt the user to enter another filename until an existant filename is entered?

My loops are messed up..

any help greatly appreciated.

i just figured it out! thanks!
