A spell check...

Nickjagg (3)
Here's my code. I need a lot of help. Bonk.txt is the file that has to be read, and Dictionary.txt is the list of words. What I'm doing now is simply to make sure the void spell(string Bonk[200]) is at least opening the file Bonk.txt correctly. That's why everything else is commented out. I'm just not understanding what to make into arrays and how to call the functions. There are other things but one thing at a time I guess right? Oh and try not to beat me up too badly since I'm terrible with this stuff!

What exactly is the problem ? you looks to be opening the file correctly.
Aceix (1118)
Yeah you can use the is_open(); member function to check whether the file is really open, to avoid crashing.

eg:
1
2
3
 
istream in;
in.open("test.txt");
if(in.is_open()) ......  //programme continues


HTH,
Aceix.

Here's what I've come up with since then. I know its been a long long time. But im still working at it. The compiler says that the variable "punctuation" is being used with being initialized. I've underlined what is being underlined in red in c++.
