[QUOTE=Ghostmn;10659236]Jonas I must thank you for helping me. Ok I changed mygetch.h to a cpp file. included it in ascii. Now i'm just left with the same thing before "undefined reference"
Errr... Forget I said that about the {}.:redface: Its not required for the switch case. http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/control/ I just like to use them but it's not required.
I think the root of your problems is that you have you mygetch defined as a function and not as a class. When you have implementation code in a header weird things happen. If you have it in a cpp,the other functions won't find it. You should be able to globally define a function, but I'm brain farting on that at the moment. Plus I think globally defining stuff is generally looked down upon.
I think your heading with this is that your going to want keyboard input with out a carriage return eventually..
But since your doing a carriage return at the moment perhaps something like this might work.
#include "employee.h"
#include <fstream>
#include <iostream>
int main()
{
payroll proll;
string initialEmployeeFileName;
string line;
cout << "Please enter initial employee data file:";
//initialEmployeeFileName="payroll.dat";
getline(cin,initialEmployeeFileName);
cout << initialEmployeeFileName << endl;
ifstream employeeIDDataFile(initialEmployeeFileName.c_str() );
if (employeeIDDataFile.is_open())
{
employee temp;
while (employeeIDDataFile.good() )
{
employeeIDDataFile>>temp;
proll.employeeHire(temp);
}
employeeIDDataFile.close();
//cout<<proll.displayAllEmployeeData(false,true);
cout <<"##########################################\n";
cout <<"EMPLOYEE DATA FILE HAS BEEN READ IN \n";
cout <<"##########################################\n";
}

This was a easy way to read the whole line and just read the first character. It's somewhat bullet proof your app in case someone decides to enter more than one character. Brains are gone... Need to get to bed.. Sorry.
