To make that clearer - when I run in MSYS, the rxvt terminal that it uses caches printf statements, so frequently, prints don't appear until the terminal is darn ready to do them, which kind of sucks for prompts.
This may have nothing to do with your problem, but it sounded like it might.

Means that nothing in the program needed building because nothing had changed. Either the file you changed is not part of your program, or you built it successfully, and then posted the log for a second build that did not then need to build anything. Consequently the log tells us very little in this case.
Either way all three of the logs posted show successful compilation. What you have not told is is whether the program actually runs successfully. I see no evidence of the "errors in the directory" you mentioned (whatever that might mean!).

He did not say it would work. The point is to clear away teh potential probles you can see so that you know the problem is down to the ones you cannot yet see so that will direct the investigation. We are not yet offering solutions, but rather assisting you in the investigation.
> I saw that file that the teacher sent to us, called beer.dat.rtf
Well done your teacher! That was less than helpful. So you obviously did not do exactly what you told us to do and created teh file from stratch. That will be what Wayne did when he got it to work, so do that.
>I edited it in the program,[...]
Edited it how!? If you merely tried to open the .rtf file, that would not have helped. RTF is not plain text. You need to create a file beer.dat and copy and paste the text from the RTF file into it. Wordpad or Word and many other applications will open an RTF, but you need to paste the text into a Notepad file or a file created in Dev-C++ itself or some other plain text editor, to ensure you get a plain text file. In other words do just what you asked us to do to reproduce your problem.

I doubt it. Not using a plain text file might be.

So do you think that's the error, or it can be something wrong with the program itself?
Thanks
