first, format the code so that it uses proper indentation, and braces. That's the first step.

I guess the lessons of the previous thread haven't sunk in yet.
http://www.daniweb.com/forums/thread177531.html

Here's how to start
for(i=0;line[len]!=10;len++) {
}
Now press compile AND make sure it works.

Now add a few (not ALL) of your lines of code for the loop body, and try to compile it again.

Also learn to put { } on ALL your for loops, while loops, if statements and switch/case statements. It'll save you from spending ages finding yet another stupid bug because the code did what you asked it to, not what you thought you wanted.

  21. {
  22. cout<<"no of vowels = "<<vow;
  23. cout<<"number of constants ="<<cons;
  24. cout<<"No of special characters ="<<sp;
  25. getch();
  26. }

I made some corrections.. now what is use of "i" ? Now there are 6 more errors.. It says that undefined symbol i ... Do reply buddies
