OK, you need to think about what you need. [ICODE]getchar()[/ICODE] inputs a single character. [ICODE]putchar()[/ICODE] outputs a single character. When you input a character, 1) if it's a letter, output it. 2) if it's not a letter, 2a) if it's the [I]first[/I] non-letter, output a \n 2b) if it's [I]not[/I] …

[QUOTE=Ancient Dragon;]First, its not good to open the same file twice. Use just one FILE* pointer and use it for both reading and writing. Call fseek() to move the FILE pointer back to the beginning if you need to but its not necessary to open the file again.[/quote] I disagree. …

Usually command line arguments are meant to pass data into the program, such as - a file name - switches that modify execution in some way - specifying the exact data to be worked on Config files 'define' the environment for the program. Such as changing the program's default values …

Read a character at a time. If it's a letter, add it to the matrix. If it's a \n, move to the next row in the matrix. Read the words into an array.

To debug your code, add output statements in key places to show you what key values are at each step of the program. If one of the values displayed is wrong, you now look at the code to find out why. Of course, you need to know what the values …

Since you are "[I]leraning c++ at the moment[/I]", I assume it's from a class. If so and you've never heard of vectors, don't bother with them. Your instructor will get there eventually. Your best bet is the array idea.

What does your program print before and after it goes wrong?

Water? Never!!! Mountain Dew -- the drink of techies.

Look at each character. When you see an H remember it. If the next letter is E, remember it, else forget everything. Continue until you have all the letters. Now check if there is a letter before or after these letters. If so, ignore it all, otherwise, change the characters

What did SEARCH at the top of the page tell you when you tried to find your answer?

You have to create the "file1.dat" filename each time through your loop. You need [iCODE]stringstream[/iCODE] or [iCODE]sprintf[/iCODE] or something similar to do that.

Use [B]cin.get()[/B] or [B]cin.getline()[/B]. Both are C++ input, rather than non-standard C input. And get rid each and every [B]goto[/B] statement. They are not needed if you program your [B]case[/B] statements correctly and add appropriate loops your program.

[iCODE]*(mpg+ctr)[/iCODE] is basically the same as [iCODE]mpg[ctr][/iCODE] Tearing it apart: [B]mpg[/B] points to the array. [b]mpg+ctr[/b] points to the [I]ctr[/I]th element in the array. [b]*(mpg+ctr)[/b] therefore is the value at the [I]ctr[/I]th element

When you write to 'buffered' device, sometimes the system will hold the characters in the buffer until a specific thing happens: 1) the buffer is filled 2) a NEWLINE \n is added 3) an explicit command (flush) is used It all depends on how the compiler I/O is designed. So …
