i cant get c++ to
do two things...

the first instead of encoding when the user preses f, i need it to encode
once the user presses "control z" or "F6"

second thing is i dont know how to keep the new lines made...

eg say i put
line one: hello
line two: how are you

my prog just encodes it into the one line :(...please if you can help me, i
will be much appreciated..

here is my semi final code..

//File: s3069242.cpp
//Encodes a Message

#include <string>
#include <iostream>
#include <cctype>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
const string ALPHABET= "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789";
const string CODE=    "fghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzabcde1234567890";


string message; //message to encode
char ch; //next message character
int pos; //its position
cout << "Enter a string to encode : ";
getline(cin, message, 'f');

// Encode message.

for (int x = 0; x < message.length(); x++)
{
 ch = tolower(message.at(x)); //ch to lowercase
 pos = ALPHABET.find(ch);     //find position of ch
 if ((pos >= 0) && (pos < 36))
 message[x] = CODE.at(pos);
 else
 message[x]=' ';
}

for (int y = 0; y < message.length(); y++)
{
 if (message[y]==' ')
 {
  message[y]=message[y+1];
  message[y+1]=' ';
  y++;
 }

}

cout << "The Encoded Message is   : " << message << endl;
return 0;
}
