Hi,

Are you getting compile or linker errors?
If so, can you please paste them here.
Otherwise, if you have logical errors, can you describe what you are seeing?

Thanks you!

oh crap sorry i forgot the errors!!

Hi Ch1156,

The first error:
"|41|error: cannot convert 'std::string' to 'char'"
is because you are comparing a string in zohalchenziin_Words which is an array of strings to a character, since store_text2 is a single string.

The second error at line 92 is the same type of error.
Ch1156 (1999)
ok so how do i fix it? do i have to make sotre_text2 and array?

The first problem is that I don't know what you are trying to do exactly.
Are you trying to match characters or strings?
Ch1156 (1999)
strings. The program goes through a text document and find the words and translates them acordingly. so there bothe strings of text.
mloutris (17)
Okay, all you need to do is remove the index on the single string, store_text2.

    //  Go through the list of words that we know how to translate.
    for(int i = 0; i < 27; i++)
    {
          if ( store_text2.compare( zohalchenziin_Words[i] ) == 0 )
          {
                //  The strings are the same, you've found the translation.
          }
    }
Ch1156 (1999)
It doesnt do anything, the words dont get translated, its supposed to find the english words and replace them with the other words.
mloutris (17)
I'm sorry, but I'm trying to help steer you in the right direction, not write the code for you. You asked for help to fix the error, and now you know how to match the strings.
Think about what you want to do if the strings match and add that code inside of the if block.
And you'll need to make a similar change at line 92 in your code listing.
Ch1156 (1999)
I dont understand though, its comparing what exactly? I dont even have the slightest idea on what to do next, can you give me more hints?
