Looping a switch statement

[hopesfall]

How can I make the default statement in a switch, loop back to the first case and reprint the cases if the user failed to press a valid option?

Reprint the cases? I'm not sure what you mean.

...
int opt = 0;

do
{
 cout << "option 1-5:";
 cin >> opt;

 switch(opt)
 {
  case 1:
   instructions..
  break;
  case 2:
   instructions..
  break;

   bla bla

  default:
   cout << "There wasn't valid option. Please type again your option or 0 means the exit."
 }

}while (opt != 0); // 0 means the quit

Ok, that works but it only catches numeric errors...

How can I make this program catch any type of error? Or maybe convert the error into a number and then display an error message?
