Need some help w/fstreams and C++

NM ... figured it out

I needed a inStream.clear() in the fail case.

Close your do/while loop

I don't know if this will fix anything, but it's still an error.

Yah that's an error that I erased in my code clip when trying to format it in the attach code thing.

But in my code it's there. It's not a compile error either, its a runtime error.

When the first attempt at an open fails, the failbit is getting set, and it appears to remain set even after the subsequent open succeeds. The input operations must then be checking the failbit and just not doing anything if set. You can add a inStream.clear() call as part of your if check to clear the failbit before the next attempt at open.

EDIT: Too late
