Problem with vector

Andre Ekblom (16)
So down here is my code, the meaning of this prog. is that I will have a word, type out a '_' for every char in theWord.
Everything is compiling like it should be but something is still wrong.
If I guess s, t, c it will type out: s_t_ _c.

What I want to do is instead of writing between the underscores it should replace the underscore with the guessed char.
Any tips and trix?
