[nfbcs] Failing If Statement

[Mike Gorse]

Hi Lanie,

I'm guessing that these lines are what you're referring to:

    if (fin.fail());
       cout << "Error reading file \"" << fileName << "\"\n";

You have a ; at the end of the if clause. You don't want a ; at the end of 
the line; it will make the if clause do nothing, and the following line 
will be executed unconditionally.

If you pass -Wall to g++, then it will print a warning (or at least it 
will with the version that I have installed).

Hth,
-Mike
