Hello everyone,
I am having some problem in reading the data inputted in a file correctly using linked lists. I think this might be because of having pointer next of type password class.
Thanks,
comwizz.
The code is posted below. You may directly see the section if (reply==3) as that is where the input from the file is not correctly read.
