My second real program (BTW first one was a test creator taker and can be found at: www.sreenathpillai.frih.net/TestApp0.1a.rar)
is a chess rating organizer made for our school chess team (which i am the leader of). the rar archive contains the exe, instructions, and a whole ton of text files for different players. The instructions are simple so just use that as a reference to edit players names and add or take away players
works really well

i guess no one has any use of this....

When I extracted it, I got nada, although the archive says the file inside has a whole 4 bytes. Super compression. Are you implementing the ELO rating system, or what?

The Dark

I had a quick look at the code, but I don't have any need for a chess organizer.
However, it did seem odd that it reads the data for each person out of a file and displays it on the screen, then asks the user to type the same information back in again. It even asks the user to look at the extracted info first. Why wouldn't the program just read the rating in and leave it at that?

i dunno what you are talkin about...the file itself is 100KB and the files are about 500KB extracted
it looks like the dark got it so i dunno if you got the wrong file or what
its at this link: http://www.sreenathpillai.frih.net/simplechessprog.rar

because i dont know how to make it store the contents of the file (string) as an integer. can i ofstream and make it read the contents and store it to an int? i mean as of now the program treats it like a string.
it still works the way it is now, but i guess that would reduce the file size by 200kb and speed up execution a bit. Thanks for the input

My PowerArchiver must be corrupted. I tried again, no joy. You can convert file text to numbers in the same way you can input from stdin. You can also use string streams.
