 		Can anybody help me with this?

quote:

string szpassword = "1053help";
string szname;
string Ed="Ed";
string nomatter="It doesn't matter. You don't get it!!";
cout<<"Type your first name only and hit enter to see your password Hey you might need to";
cout<<"use an abbreviated name)"<<endl;
cin >> szname;
if(szname=="Ed");
{
cout <<"Your password is:";
cout << szpassword << endl;
}
else;

I get a parse error before the last line.
Anybody know whats wrong?

 		It's been a while for me and C++, but do you really need / want the last else; statement? What was the actual error you recieved?

 		There's also a semicolor at the end of the if statement "if(szname=="Ed");"
if you leave it there the execution will always go inside the brackets {} and the if statement has no effect

 		Thanks for the help guys...I figured it out... I need the else statement because it's not the end of the C++ document but the end of my post... I get the error before that line... It said that I had a 'parse error before' the last line of my post. I put that it was just a segment!! Ah, well. If anybody wants the whole source in case they need a password remembering program you can have it (just change the values for your name and password and whatever)
