I am trying to write a program to get user's input but only accepts alphabetic characters, nothing else and I want it to ask the user to enter a valid word until they have finally entered a valid one. I have the following code for it but it does not work properly.
void CheckBound (char word1[], int SIZE1) {
int i;
int w1[SIZE4]= {0};
int found;
for (i=0;i<strlen(word1);i++) {

How do I have the user enter only letters?
#include <iostream>
#include <limits>
int getInt() {
int x = 0;
while(!(cin >> x))
[Code] ....
But this function prompts the user to only input integer values. I was thinking if I could maybe try tweaking with this one so that the user could only enter letters..no luck though. So how can I have the user input letters only?
I need to create a program that will prompt the user for an input, then it will save their input to a file and then it will prompt the user to input "Open" and then the file containing their first input, will open up and show their input.

So I am writing a program that counts the letters of 3 lines of input from the user. I am using a 3 x 80 character array as the "notepad". Upper and lower case characters are incremented on the same counter array.

How do I error check if the user is inputting letters and not numbers? For example, if the user inputs "Lab.txt" I need to display an error message. If they input "Lab2part2.txt" then this is correct and what I want.
I've found a lot of information online on how to error check for numbers or a single letter (EX: 1,2,3, etc. or 'A' 'B' 'C') but nothing for actual WORDS or maybe I should refer to it as a string of characters?
Is there any way to do this? Because my program requires I ask the user to input the name of the file. But the way my code is currently set up is even when the user inputs the wrong file name it still opens the file. I want to prevent this from happening so my thought was to error check user input.

I am trying to build a c++ that reads user input and arrange letters in ascending order.
for example, if the user input: Hello my name is Moe! the output will be: !aeeehillmmmnoos (ascending order)
my problem is that when i input hello my name is moe the output will be ehllo (not completing other letters) also when i change class size to 50, it outputs unknown weird letters.
This is my code:
#define CLASS_SIZE 10

Here is a simple drinks machine programm. It basically consists in the user selecting a drink that it's presented, if the user selects correctly the number representing a certain drink, the machine shows the user what was the drink he selected, after his choise the machine asks for money insertion, if the user inserts the incorrect amount of money, the machine shows an error saying that user need to insert the correct amount of money.
My problem is that, if the user selects a different number other than those presentend, the machine displays an error saying that he needs to choose a valid drink, but i can't find a way to reprompt the user again after the error has been displayed. here's the code.
// ***Drinkins Machine*** by Roxmate
#include <iostream>
#include <cstdlib>
using namespace std;
int main() {
// initializes the variables coca, fanta, iced and drink to be used in switch function,so that the user can choose what drink he wants.
int coca = 1;

i need to prompt the user of my program to input numbers into an array so that later on these numbers can be added or subtracted with other numbers to form a new array. My problem is I don't know how to make the user input numbers which will then be saved into the array for later use. Here is the parts of my code that relate to the problem:
Code:
float Xv, Yv, Zv, Xu, Yu, Zu ;
float vector1[VECTOR_LENGTH] = {Xv, Yv, Zv} ;
scanf("%1f %1f %1f", &Xv, &Yv, &Zv);
printf("The first element in the array vector1 is: %3f
", vector1[0]);
The point of that printf function is to see if what they have entered is actually registering as what i want it to. This does not work however and the value for this always comes up as 0.
how to scan numbers into an array so that they can be used for later use?

Im writing program for a rail fence cipher that should run from the command prompt and take in two .txt files, one containing the key for how many rails there should be (between 1 and 25) and the other containing the message to be encrypted. Both of those txt files should be entered from the command prompt, taken in with the program's arguments, not asking the user for input I think I have the logistics of how to get the program to encrypt it worked out, but every time I try to run the program it keeps on crashing.
The program should run when I enter this:./railcipher samplekey.txt samplemessage.txt
I'm pretty sure my issue lies within my first few lines of code, with the main(), or with the FILE*, but I dont know what I would need to change it to for it to work properly.

If I compile code which uses cin using the command prompt, then run the compiled program a new window opens when it reaches the cin line of code, for the input. If there is no cin used then all printing happens in the original window. Is there a way to stop this behavior of the opening of a new window?

The problem of this code is when you put in the names(via cin) and press enter command prompt will disappear. What should I do so that Command prompt will not disappear after I input some names? I mean it disappears without you pressing a key.
