file opening problem!!!!!

[j_cart007]

hi!

i'm trying to write the code to open the file and read the contents and write to another file with uppercase but the problem i'm having is path problem everything seems pretty fine but it says Steam != NULL , as long as i know its could'nt locating the file.

NB: i'm using Visual C++ 2008 as IDE.

Please have a look at it and correct me if i'm wrong.

you can't do this:

if (ch == *my_word ||*my_word2 || *my_word3)

you have to specify what you're testing for each OR'ed condition.

if (ch == *my_word || ch == *my_word2 || ch == *my_word3)

Also you are not writing C++ code so all your variable definitions need to be at the top of your functions, before any executable statements.

And for us to follow your code, use proper formatting

can u have at it again pls and sorry about any mistake again.
