[Chainsaw]

you have two functions with the name 'main', one in each file. Only one function 'main' can exist in the program. Change one of them.

And, as Naru will tell you if I don't, it should be "int main()" not "void main()".

[wildkms725]

Thank you for you help. Is there any way that I can combine the two .cpp files into one?

[Chainsaw]

No need, just rename one of the mains to be something else.

Just combine them in your editor. Put all the header files near the top and sort them out for duplicates. Also obvious things like #include "search.cpp" are not needed any more. Occasionally the order of the header files might play a role.
