So... What's your question? What are you stuck on?
(Please use code-tags)

Also, just by looking at your syntax, your strings should be int's.
Strings are for text-only.

Well Every time I try to compile it first I get an error, then if I press ignore, it will always cout "Go to isle 1"... Any sugestions? I think it has to do with the strings and characters, but I am very new to this.

Actually that was before... Then i changed it and now I just get an error message saying."cout exceeds 100"..?

Oh so I should have ints where it is string... And you think I can run it without error after that.
By the way thanks for helping man!

... Your question really isn't that clear. Do you want users to exactly input what they want. For example:


Please enter you item:
Creamer


instead of using numbers?

string item;



cout << "Please enter your item. " <<endl;
cin >> item;

}
if (item.find("Milk") != string::npos)
{
  cout << "Go to aisle 1." << endl;
}
if (item.find("Soda") != string::npos)
{
 cout << "Go to aisle 1." << endl;
}
if (item.find("Water") != string::npos)
{
  cout << "Go to Aisle 1." << endl;
}
if (item.find ("Cookies") !=string::npos)
{
 cout << "Go to Aisle 2." << endl;
}
if (item.find ("Chips") !=string::npos)
{
cout << "Go to Aisle 2." << endl;

} if (item.find ("Crackers") != string::npos)
{
  cout << "Go to Aisle 2." << endl;
}
return 0;
}


It should work :)
Let me know if it helps you.
(Make sure when you run the program, you start each word off as a capital)

What does including stdafx.h do?

Ignore it. It's a precompiled header thing that VS puts there if you don't start with a blank project.
