vector<line_struct> text_file;

//make a temporary container
line_struct temp;

{
//load the temporary container
//read in the text file, 'word at a time'
infile >> temp.line_number;
infile >> temp.two_letters;

cin >> target;

for(int i=0, size=text_file.size(); i<size; i++)

Which errors are you getting?
Also, please wrap your code in [code][/code] tags, that makes it more readable.

Did you write that code yourself by the way, or did you buy it off a pirate? ;)

All the best,
