Well then use "/home/USER/.todo" or better yet "~/.todo". Saying "/.todo" is like saying "/usr" or "/home"; it gets you a file relative to the root of the filesystem, which as I have said before, is...

#define isn't what you need. #define does compile-time text substitution, as if you'd done a search-replace just before every compilation.


That looks like a reasonable idea. You'll probably want...

Yes, but "/.todo" is a hidden file *in the root of the drive*, and it's extremely probable that you don't want to be writing there. If you want a hidden file, fine, use ".todo" or "./todo" to...

Yes, new members register at an astonishing rate here . . . when I logged in there were six less members than there are now. :)

I'm also thinking that this

should be "./" instead of "/.".

You use -99 in your input file to indicate end of line, but you seem to expect -999 in your program . . . .

Just a thought: why don't you read in one line at a time, and treat that as the row of a...

A constant variable can't be changed after initialization. If you didn't initialize it, too bad, you still can't change it. (If you compiler is a good one, it may warn you that you haven't...

I've really told you all you need to know. I'll give you some more details, but you'll have to do some searching . . . .

Three steps.

Too bad you're not using PHP. :) http://ca2.php.net/filesize

On the other hand,...

Well, that's not too difficult. You could open the file, read it line-by-line, and print only those lines which contain the word "WARNING", for example. If you wanted to be more robust, you could...

Did you try google? There seem to be a lot of hits relating to this. http://www.google.ca/search?q=sdl_ttf+opengl

You can use SDL_ttf's TTF_RenderText_Blended to get smoothed SDL text surfaces. I...

The best way to do this is perhaps this: declare a structure representing the information. (Perhaps a header structure, a data one, a tail, and a packet structure that contains all three.)

If you...

What? Never heard of that. Don't tell me,

x = bool (x||y) ;
That is C++ only. The C way looks like this.
x = (bool)(x || y);

So your question is, why does structure alignment apply to the last member of a structure?

I think the answer is the same as for why structure alignment exists in the first place. Structure...

Use code=c++ in your code tags to get syntax highlighting. It makes the code a lot easier to read.

In order to use the ifstream fin variable that you declare inside the switch statement, you need to declare it outside the switch statement. For example:

while(indicator = 'y')
You want == for comparison.

There are many functions that you are using that have no equivalent -- in fact nearly all; if there were exact equivalents then the programmer would have used those instead, most likely.

You have a lot of repetitive code there that could go outside of the if statement . . .

"Without a toolkit"? Sure, but you'd be writing a lot of platform-specific code. You could use regular old Windows programming. You could use the Gnome or KDE libraries.

If you're in delete mode, try pressing the insert key as suggested.

What editor are you using?

You're also missing a closing curly brace } at the end of your program, but that's probably just a typo.

Presumably you meant
system("DIR C:\\");

I realize that, but I thought you didn't, because you said

Does the Borland version work?

As for keeping score, you could have two variables.

See this line?

It should look like this.

Too slow.

If you don't care what the beep sounds like just print a '\a' character.

Okay, here's your problem.
Deck::deck()

deck() doesn't match the class name Deck so it isn't a constructor. C++ is case-sensitive. Use a constructor name that matches the class name exactly -- in...
