Re: Line count not working....

You should check that the file actually opened.

read.open(filename_user.c_str(), ios::in);
if( ! read )
{
  //error handler here
}
else
     while(getline(read, linecount, '\n'))
     {
          ++lc;
     }
read.open(filename_user.c_str(), ios::in);
if( ! read )
{
  //error handler here
}
else
     while(getline(read, linecount, '\n'))
     {
          ++lc;
     }

Are you sure the data file is in the place where your program is looking for it?

Everyone's gotta believe in something. I believe I'll have another drink.
