reading code from user

Hi I have written this program which creates a 6 character string that is a counter that is alpha numeric ranging from 0-9 and then goes to A-Z excluding the characters I and O, but the way I have coded it I have to hard code each character in the program. I would like to change this to where the user can enter a single string for this, and also a string for the number of codes they want to create? I tried doing simple cin and cout commands, but I didn't know if the the overriding of the stream I am using at the end to write my file interferes with that or if its something else, but if anyone could help me in converting this to user inputted information that would be great.

yikes posting this removed all of my spacing... How do I post it and make it look like it did in my compiler so its easier for everyone else to read?

Use the <> button on the Right (or maybe bottom.) You can also use [/code] & [code] ([code] for opening and the other for closing.)
