problem opening files based on position...

[Aven]

I have a program that is supposed to open a file based on the coordinate on an x, y, and z coordinate.&nbsp;&nbsp;It then gets information about that coordinate and outputs it.&nbsp;&nbsp;But for some reason it does not work correctly.. So I took away the Z axis to make it easier to work with, and then I deformed some of the code to try to find the bug, but i cannot.&nbsp;&nbsp;Maybe someone could help me if they looked at it, so here is the defective code... Please help&nbsp;&nbsp;:<br><br><br>do<br>{<br>acc = 1;<br>cin &gt;&gt; dir;<br>strcpy(town, &quot;Cador&quot;<br>strcpy(dirtest, &quot;n&quot;<br>strcpy(dirtest1, &quot;ne&quot;<br>strcpy(dirtest2, &quot;e&quot;<br>strcpy(dirtest3, &quot;se&quot;<br>strcpy(dirtest4, &quot;s&quot;<br>strcpy(dirtest5, &quot;sw&quot;<br>strcpy(dirtest6, &quot;w&quot;<br>strcpy(dirtest7, &quot;nw&quot;<br>strcpy(dirtest8, &quot;d&quot;<br>strcpy(dirtest9, &quot;u&quot;<br>if (strcmpi(dir, dirtest) == 1)<br>{<br>y++;<br>y1 = 1;<br>}<br>else if (strcmpi(dir, dirtest1) == 1)<br>{<br>y++;<br>y1 = 1;<br>x++;<br>x1 = 1;<br>}<br>else if (strcmpi(dir, dirtest2) == 1)<br>{<br>x++;<br>x1 = 1;<br>}<br>else if (strcmpi(dir, dirtest3) == 1)<br>{<br>y--;<br>y1 = -1;<br>x++;<br>x1 = 1;<br>}<br>else if (strcmpi(dir, dirtest4) == 1)<br>{<br>y--;<br>y1 = -1;<br>}<br>else if (strcmpi(dir, dirtest5) == 1)<br>{<br>y--;<br>y1 = -1;<br>x--;<br>y1 = -1;<br>}<br>else if (strcmpi(dir, dirtest6) == 1)<br>{<br>x--;<br>x1 = -1;<br>}<br>else if (strcmpi(dir, dirtest7) == 1)<br>{<br>y++;<br>y1 = 1;<br>x--;<br>x1 = -1;<br>}<br>else if (strcmpi(dir, dirtest8) == 1)<br>{<br>z--;<br>}<br>else if (strcmpi(dir, dirtest9) == 1)<br>{<br>z++;<br>}<br>else<br>{<br>acc = 0;<br>}<br>do {<br>if (acc == 0)<br>{<br>break;<br>}<br>strcpy(town, &quot;Cador&quot;<br>if(x &lt; 10 )<br>{<br>strcat(town, &quot;00&quot;<br>}<br>else if(x &gt; 9 && x &lt; 100)<br>{<br>strcat(town, &quot;0&quot;<br>}<br>sprintf(town1, &quot;%d&quot;, x);<br>strcat(town, town1);<br>if(y &lt; 10 )<br>{<br>strcat(town, &quot;00&quot;<br>}<br>else if(y &gt; 9 && y &lt; 100)<br>{<br>strcat(town, &quot;0&quot;<br>}<br>sprintf(town2, &quot;%d&quot;, y);<br>strcat(town, town2);<br><br>strcat(town, &quot;000&quot;<br>// sprintf(town3, &quot;%d&quot;, z);<br>// strcat(town, town3);<br>strcat(town, &quot;.dat&quot;<br>ifstream infile(town);<br><br><br>acc = 1;<br>infile &gt;&gt; roomdesc;<br>cout &lt;&lt; roomdesc &lt;&lt; endl;<br>infile.close();<br>}<br>while (strcmpi(dir, &quot;exit&quot != 1);<br>}<br>while (strcmpi(dir, &quot;exit&quot != 1);
