searching through vectors and more

ramus313 (48)
i have a text file which i put all the strings into a vector. i have successfully been able to search through the vector, however i want the words typed in only to be counted correct if they are made from the random characters given at the start of the game. you will the what i mean when you play the game... is there a way to do that? thanks!

P.S. please get the text file from here: http://www.sendspace.com/file/t9tr14

and make sure that the location of the file in the fstream code is changed to where you place it




P.S.S i think the problem lies in the "play" mathod

You realize you can test these sort of things separately and then add what you figure out to your bigger project, right?

Nobody wants to wade through 392 lines of code (even if much of its gratuitous whitespace) for a problem that could be duplicated in 20.

your right sorry, i just editied the code above to make it a little easier. i put up the whole thing in case you wanted to urn the project in your IDE t explore the problems, but the problem still likes in the play function
