#include <iostream.h>

int gettxtfiles();

int main()
{
gettxtfiles();
	return 0;
}

int gettxtfiles()
{
int nFiles;

cout<<"Enter the number of txt files";
cin>> nFiles;

int i;
char str[25];
char *array[100];

for(i=0;i<nFiles; i++)
{
	cout <<"Enter file("<<i<< ")";
	cin>>str;
	array[i] = char new[strlen(str)];
	array[i] = str;
	cout<<array[i];

	return 0;
}

In this code I get the folowing errors.
Can anyone help me out? Thanks

(26) : error C2062: type 'char' unexpected
MyProjects\checkoccurances\checkoccurances.cpp(33) : fatal error C1004: unexpected end of file found
Error executing cl.exe.

... = new char[n];

Not

... = char new[n];

any idea what unexpected end of file found means?

It means you missed off an ending brace. The compiler is expecting more code, but the file ends so it gets confused.

You've missed the ending brace of the int gettxtfiles() function.

thanks, i just relized the missing brace. Anyway I have one more error that I run into often and I don't get whats going on.

int oper::scan()
{
char scanstr[1000];
char strF[20];
char ch;
char temp[20];
int i;

cout<<"Enter the word you want to find";
cin>> strF;

for(i=0;i<nFiles;i++)
{
	ifstream in(array[i]);
	if(in.fail()){
		cout<<"Error opening file";
		return 1;
	}

	while(in.get(ch)){
	strcat(scanstr,ch);	//error C2664: 'strcat' : cannot convert parameter 2 from 'char' to 'const char *'
						//Conversion from integral type to pointer type requires reinterpret_cast, C-style cast or function-style cast
	}

	if(strchr(scanstr,strF)){
		cout<<strF<<"found";	//error C2664: 'strchr' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'char (*)[1000]' to 'const char *'
								//Types pointed to are unrelated; conversion requires reinterpret_cast, C-style cast or function-style cast
	}

	return 0;
}

}

I have the errors marked on the lines. I know I need a pointer. But why would I need it? thanks for your help!
