int main(){
    decoder one; 
    if(one.inputarray() == true){
    one.request();
    one.switchD(); 
    }
    return 0;
}

the code i need help with is

bool inputarray(){
        message.open ("/Users/home/Desktop/cipher/cipher/message.txt");
        message.exceptions(ifstream::badbit);
        try{
            for (int i = 0; i < 50; i++){
                message >> notcoded[i];
            }
        }
        catch(ifstream::failure &e){
            cout << "could not open file!";
            return false;
        }
        message.close();
        return true; 
    }

i just need a way for it to include the whitespace within the file, because currently it does not. thankyou in advance.

Try using getline.

(it'll look something like message.getline(notcoded, 50);)
