Maybe do something like this to get a file name from a user

ifstream fin; 
char filename[50]
cout << "Please enter the file name: "
(cin>>filename[50]).get();

fin.open(filename);

Fixed:

ifstream fin; 
//char filename[50]
string filename;
cout << "Please enter the file name: ";
//(cin>>filename[50]).get();
getline(cin,filename);

fin.open(filename.c_str());
