List help

[coolmel55]

Here is a link to the actual assignment http://bluehawk.monmouth.edu/~rscherl/Classes/CS503/hw2.pdf.
At this point I am able to build the linked list from a users input string as well as display that list. Here is the code that I have up to this point. I have two classes a Node class and a List class, I have the implementation files for those classes as well as a main driver program. I guess how do I test conditions for example: within the function buildList if(myString == '(') loop through myString adding elements to the list until you hit a ')' how do I do that?
