Hey, sorry if you've already seen/helped me with this, but I have additions I want to make to the program. The program kind of works like a log in system, you enter one of two names and a welcome screen is output, anything else and it's access denied. What I want to do now is make it so that each name has a different welcome screen.
This is the code I've already got which includes what I've added in an attempt to make this possible, although what I've done has had virtually 0 effect.
Thank you. :)

I know feel ever so slightly silly..... That worked well thank you. Now I've used this code as the second welcome screen:
It works, the only thing is instead of outputting "Hello Mike", I get "Hello Hello".
Any Ideas?
void WelcomeUser(const struct second& B)
{
string fname;
size_t pos = B.user.find(' '); // locate blank
if (string::npos == pos) // no blank?
{
cout << "Hello " << B.user; // OK, full name
}
fname = B.user.substr(0,pos); // extract first name
cout << "Hello " << fname;
}
It works, the only thing is instead of outputting "Hello Mike", I get "Hello Hello".

Hmm, there is no need to define two different structures that basically hold the same - nor in your case even the need to use a 2nd one. Aside from this , is there any "Hello" in the input?
Your help has saved me hundreds of hours of internet surfing.

Yeah I know that, see what I'm making is a kind of.....puzzle for someone, I'm going to change it so there are messages on each welcome screen which are going to be different depending on cin. And no there's now a hello in the input, just cout.
void WelcomeUser(const struct second& B)
{
string fname;
size_t pos = B.user.find(' '); // locate blank
if (string::npos == pos) // no blank?
{
cout << "Hello " << B.user; // OK, full name
}
fname = B.user.substr(0,pos); // extract first name
cout << "Hello " << fname;
}
Hmm, OK. May I ask for the complete code again? ;o)

Haha no problem :)

The problem is line 200 - you are calling 'WelcomeUser(B);' while only 'A' is set to a valid input value and should be used here.

Oh yeah! I see it, so is there any way in which I can make B valid?
