i have written this code and need it to read a file and change the first charachter in a sentence to upper case.
it reads the file and changes the first letter of the program but not after a full stop.
i dont know why! or how to fix it! please help!

void uppercase(void)
{

int charcount=0;
char ch, lastchar;
bool Fullstopflag = false;

ifstream input("test.txt"); // **** Open the Input file ****
if(input.fail()) // **** If a problem opening the file ****
{
cerr<<"Error opening File:\n"; //**** Display an error message ****

exit(1); // **** End the program ****
}
while(!input.eof())
{
input.get(ch);
charcount++;

if ((Fullstopflag==true)&&(ch!=' '))
{
ch = toupper(ch);
Fullstopflag = false;
}

if (charcount==1)ch=toupper(ch);
if((lastchar==13)&&(ch!=' ')&&(Fullstopflag== true)) ch=toupper(ch);

cout<<ch;
}
lastchar=ch;



}

I didn't have a close look at your code, but I don't see you setting charcount to 0 at the end of the loop.

Please use code tags next time, it makes code easier readable.
