No, I had changed XPR to char XPR[3]. Sorry if I forgot to mention that :\. I tried using int to start with, but the fin.getline function returned an error:

main.cpp:20: invalid conversion from `int'' to `char*''

main.cpp:20: initializing argument 1 of `std::basic_istream<_CharT, _Traits>&
std::basic_istream<_CharT, _Traits>::getline(_CharT*, int) [with _CharT = char, _Traits = std::char_traits]''

When I use char as the variable type, as I am pretty sure the fin.getline function only works with a char variable, it will read the character, in this case a number, in from the text file, but when I add the if statement, I get the error I mentioned above.

Here is the code I have now, this will run however, the if statement won''t work even though I make sure XPR == 1. I have tried single quotes aswell but that returns this error:

main.cpp:26: ISO C++ forbids comparison between pointer and integer
