Hangman Project

vcaropr1 (5)
Hello! I am pretty new with the C++ language and programming all together and I am having difficulty with this hangman project I am working on. The program should read in a word from a file and put it into a char array. Then a complement array should be displayed using '*' notating each letter. I am having success with every letter except the last where it just isn't working. I am stumped... Any help or pointers would be appreciated. Note: This is not the final format of the program (I know it's pretty gross looking haha)

Found the fix myself.... After taking a break and coming back to it haha
for(int i = 0; i <= 6; i++)
