    <p>When I run this, it will SOMETIMES print out a null termination character. Most of the time it will, and probably 1/5 times it will print just the characters.</p> <pre><code>void cryptogram::Encrypt(){ cout&lt;&lt;"encrypt"&lt;&lt;endl; char Alphabet[]="ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ"; fin.open("original.txt"); cout&lt;&lt;"file opened"; if(!fin) { cout&lt;&lt;"No file exists"&lt;&lt;endl;; }else{ while(fin&gt;&gt;tempS){ len=tempS.length(); int a=0; for(int j=0;j&lt;len;j++){ for(a;a&lt;=26;a++){ tempS[j]=toupper(tempS[j]); if(tempS[j]!=Alphabet[a]){//while two characters arent equal //if the characters arent equal...a is incremented, to see if the character from the word is equal to the next letter in the alphabet }else{ cout&lt;&lt;Crypto[a]; //crypto is an array of char filled with letters that are used to encrypt the message if(j!=len){ //if the word still has more characters j++; a=0; }else{ //if the word is done being scanned cout&lt;&lt;" "; } } } } } } } </code></pre> <p>So that's it and this is the corresponding EXPECTED output that is printed SOMETIMES</p> <blockquote> <p>xvk bkikhxlr wggbtfkj wiylekgbdhx wjjm hko wigbtubxt xvk iwhj uedjkm glctb gvrmdiwhj iebbdielmeggtbx ctb xvtmk gbtubxvk wjjdxdthgbtubodll khvxvk imkbfdik xt xvk bkudth whj gbtfdjk hko tgxdthm whj tggtbxehdxdkm ctb mxejkhxmibdzdhtltur whj pemxdik mxejdkm mxdh cok wbk wlmt gbkgctb cteb hko zdh cgvrmdikjeiwhj qdhkmdtlturzzkjdydtivkzdmxbrw zdh zdjjlkkjeiwhj w jtixtbdh kjeiwjzdhdmxbittgkbodxv mjme whj eimj</p> </blockquote> <p>This is what normally prints though</p> <blockquote> <p>xvkÈ bkikhxlrÈ wggbtfkjÈ wiylekgbdhxÈ wjjmÈ hkoÈ wigbtubxtÈ xvkÈ iwhjÈ uedjkmÈ glctbÈ gvrmdiwhjÈ iebbdielmeggtbxÈ ctbÈ xvtmkÈ gbtubxvkÈ wjjdxdthgbtubodllÈ khvxvkÈ imkbfdikÈ xtÈ xvkÈ bkudthÈ whjÈ gbtfdjkÈ hkoÈ tgxdthmÈ whjÈ tggtbxehdxdkmÈ ctbÈ mxejkhxmibdzdhtlturÈ whjÈ pemxdikÈ mxejdkmÈ mxdhÈ cokÈ wbkÈ wlmtÈ gbkgctbÈ ctebÈ hkoÈ zdhÈ cgvrmdikjeiwhjÈ qdhkmdtlturzzkjdydtivkzdmxbrwÈ zdhÈ zdjjlkkjeiwhjÈ wÈ jtixtbdhÈ kjeiwjzdhdmxbittgkbodxvÈ mjmeÈ whjÈ eimj</p> </blockquote> <p>or some variation of an odd character at the end of each word</p> <p>This is what the cryptogram array is filled with by the way</p> <blockquote> <p>wyijkcuvdpqlzhtgabmxefonrs</p> </blockquote> <p>Also this is the original message that gets encrypted</p> <p>The recently approved Academic Blueprint adds new academic programs to the campus and guides planning for physical and curricular support for those programs.

    1. COHow can you read your own code? The *a* variable is off by one, Alphabet[26] is not a valid index.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
