How do you get a file in C++?

Question

So the teacher has posed this assignment:

You have been hired by the United Network Command for Law Enforcement, and you have been given files containing null cyphers yo

Answer 1

Although your queston has been answered, two little tips: 1) Instead of counting x and y to see if you are on an odd or even character you can do the following:

int count=0;
while(!infile.eof())
{       
    infile.get(letter);
    count++;
    if(count%2==0)
    {
        cout<

% essentially means 'remainder when divided by,' so 11%3 is two. in the above it gives odd or even.

2) Assuming you only need to run it on windows:

system("pause");

will make the window stay open when its finished running so you don't need the last getchar() call (you may have to #include for that to work).
