"Armoring" was a poor example, but it doesn't work for any of the streams that use ==. strEndRead is declared in the parenthesis of the function that the loop resides in.

Streams? You mean strings?

I didn't mean its location. Is strEndRead a char array?

yes I meant strings and no it's an std::string.

In the pastebin you are still doing strcmp (strY, strEndRead).

Sadly I have no idea why == wouldn't work. What's the exact error message?

[MrWillsauce]

Error: no operator "!=" matches these operands.

[cerapa]

Welp.
I'm out.

Perhaps you should reinstall. == with strings is kinda a standard function that really shouldn't be broken.

[olemars]

Well I can't see what. It's all there in the pastebin, so you could take a look there and see if you see anything. == won't work when comparing an std::string to a string in the file (such as "armoring") or in (strY != strEndRead). The compiler just says "no operator '==' or '!=' matches these operands."

Pastebin the whole sourcefile (or as much of it as you're comfortable with) and all the errors exactly as output by the compiler.

The errors are at:
line 166, where the >> operator "matches no operands"
lines 167-212 where it can't compare strY with a string using strcmp (which as Cerapa said is expected), or compare strY to strings using == (which is a problem).
line 213 where != "does not match these operands"

All these string issues makes me value the lessons Java really drilled into me.

equals() for content comparison.
== for reference address comparison and primitive comparison (except float).

Try #include <string>

[MrWillsauce]

Where should I put it? At the top with iostream and stuff?

[olemars]

Yup. Also eliminate all occurences of strcmp.

[MrWillsauce]

Wow, everything works now. Thanks so much!

At some point in the past, my predecessor had a problem. Being titled "programmer" by the less knowledgeable meant he had several opinions on how this problem should be solved. In the end, his problem was solved using VBScript, 1- and 2-letter variable names, a complete dearth of comments, url manipulation using string splitting and concatenation, and gigantic, needlessly complex nested case statements. These are glued together using recursion.

Now I have six problems.

I guess that guy read the obfuscation manual.

Sorry.

I wasn't really fishing for anything.

When that big jumble was still inside my skull (in between bashing said skull against the keyboard at this exercise in futility), it sounded like one of those programmer quips you hear (you know, "I had a problem. I thought I would use regular expressions. Now I have two problems."). Thought someone might get a chuckle.

[Siquo]

I chuckled, but I also know that I am guilty of having done stuff like that in the past.
