text: Well, I had my program running perfectly, and I was quite pleased with the results. However, after I made the text file a bit big, the program just stopped working all together. (255 lines of text) so I 'suppose' it is a bandwidth problem..however 255 lines of text is like nothing, and I don't understand why it would render the program useless.
  Any help on fixing the issue will be appreciated. Here is the coding:
  #include<iostream> #include<fstream> #include<ctype.h> using namespace std; int main() { char user[255]=""; do{ int j=0,l=0; char newuser[255]=""; cout << "Talk: "; cin.getline (user,255); for(int x=0;x<strlen(user);x++) { if ( user[x] >= 'A' && user[x] <= 'Z' ) user[x] = static_cast<char> ( user[x] + 'a' - 'A' ); if (ispunct(user[x])==0) { newuser[j]=user[x]; j++; } } for(int x=0;x<255;x++) user[x]=newuser[x]; char question[255][255], answer[255][255], userans[255]; int ans=0, x=0; ifstream fromfile("questions.txt"); for(x=1;x<265;x++) { fromfile.getline(question[x], 255); if(strcmp (question[x], user) == 0) ans = x; } fromfile.close(); ifstream tofile("answers.txt"); for(x=1;x<265;x++) tofile.getline(answer[x], 255); tofile.close(); if(ans==0) { cout << "I am sorry, but I do not know. What would your answer be?: "; cin.getline(userans,255); ofstream intofile("answers.txt",ios::app); intofile << endl << userans; intofile.close(); ofstream tofile("questions.txt",ios::app); tofile << endl << user; tofile.close(); } else cout << "Botman says: " << answer[ans] << endl; }while(strcmp ("let me leave", user)!= 0); }
  And the text files are below.
