inFile.open("C:\\hw_5-1_ext1.txt");

C:\hw_5-1_ext1.txt must exist and be in the correct format.

I ran this code with a file I created that looked like:

123456 100 77 88 55.1
654321 88 77 66 55

I saved the file to C:\hw_5-1_ext1.txt and compiled the program and it ran fine.

Student GPA Special Note

123456 80.025 Honor Roll
654321 71.500 Honor Roll

Course 1 average: 94.000
Course 2 average: 77.000
Course 3 average: 77.000
Course 4 average: 55.050

Meh.. are you sure your math is right in there? o.O Are you trying to find the GPA? Because it totaly not doing that. You're getting the average of the grades, but that's about it.

I have no idea why it can't run -- are you trying to run it on the same operating system that you compiled it on -- such as compile on MS-Windows and attempt to run on *nix :) If you expect an answer you need to ask a more detailed question.

It compiles and runs, you just have to supply the right input file.
