Error - crosses initialization?

badkaykay (96)
I am not understanding these errors:

p3.cpp:228: error: jump to case label
p3.cpp:218: error: crosses initialization of `std::string FindWord'
p3.cpp:229: error: jump to case label
p3.cpp:218: error: crosses initialization of `std::string FindWord'
p3.cpp:231: error: expected `;' before "Q"
p3.cpp:236: error: jump to case label
p3.cpp:218: error: crosses initialization of `std::string FindWord'
p3.cpp:228: warning: destructor needed for `FindWord'
p3.cpp:228: warning: where case label appears here
p3.cpp:228: warning: (enclose actions of previous case statements requiring destructors in their own scope.)

Do I need to overload the "==" operator? Is that why it is telling me those things? Just guessing....

In C/C++, switch statements allows fall-through semantics with the case labels. You declared a FindWord variable when your switch statement encounters case 'F' or 'f'. To solve this, make FindWord in its own scope or declare it outside the switch statements.

string FindWord;
switch (choice) {
    // code here...
    case 'F':
    case 'f':
        // use FindWord here...
        break;
}
