Cin gets ignored ?

Devilnp123 (7)
Same story again. In the void nfile() and in ofile(), the program gives the output but ignores the input (cin) and gives the output: "Error occured...".

Can someone please explain and correct what i do wrong?
It is annoying to say the least.

Thank you.

You need to clear the input buffer.
