[ekailan]

I want to read the string in 4 files as the cose show, the problem is that the code read the data from the first file only ?!!this is the code ....I dont know what is the problem

    ifstream  inFile1;
          char *p; 
	  p = new char[500];



ofstream Result;
    Result.open("Result.txt");
    		
	for(i=1;i<5;++i)
	{ 
	   //Inter the Patterns file

	    cout<<"Enter patterns file name.\n";
            cin>>pattern;

	    inFile1.open(pattern.c_str());
      
	    if ( !inFile1 )
        {
          cout<<"Unable to open file. Enter a different name: ";
	      inFile1.clear();
              cin >> pattern;
	      inFile1.open(pattern.c_str());
	     }

	//Define files for patterns after classification
    
 	  
	
	while(!inFile1.eof())
		   { 		
			 getline(inFile1, line);
		    strcpy_s(p, 500, line.c_str());
   			cout<<strlen(p)<<"\n";

}

	           }
	cout<<"endfile\n";
	inFile1.close();
