My Code isn't compiling, can anyone help me figure out what I'm doing wrong?

Question

So far this is what I have come up with for my program but I can't figure out why it wont compile correctly, I'm getting a lot of errors. Anyone have any suggestions? The program needs to merge male and female clients from two different files and output to another file. Thanks!

#include <fstream>
#include <iostream>
#include <cstdlib>
using namespace std;
int main()
{

     ifstream inFile1;
     ifstream inFile2;
     ofstream outFile1;
     int mClientNumber, fClientNumber;
     string mClientName, fClientName;
     bool atLeastOneFileNotAtEnd = true;
     bool inFile1Written = false;
     bool inFile2Written = false;
 cout << "File merge processing starting" ;
 inFile1.open("MaleClients.rtf");
 inFile2.open("FemaleClients.rtf");
 outFile1.open("MergedClients.rtf");
 inFile1 >> mClientNumber;
 inFile1 >> mClientName;
 inFile2 >> fClientNumber;
 inFile2 >> fClientName;
 while ( atLeastOneFileNotAtEnd == true )
 {
   if (inFile1 == EOF)
   {
     if (inFile2Written == false)
     {
       outFile1 << fClientNumber << endl;
       outFile1 << fClientName << endl;
       inFile2Written = true;
     }
   else if (inFile2 == EOF)
     if (inFile1Written == false);
     {
       outFile1 << mClientNumber << endl;
       outFile1 << mClientName << endl;
       inFile1Written = true;
     }
   else if (mClientNumber < fClientNumber)
     outFile1 << mClientNumber << endl;
     outFile1 << mClientName << endl;
     inFile1Written = true;
   else
     outFile1 << fClientNumber << endl;
     outFile1 << fClientName << endl;
     inFile2Written = true;
   }


   if ((inFile1 ! EOF) && (inFile1Written == true))
   {
     inFile1 >> mClientNumber;
     inFile1 >> mClientName;
     inFile1Written = false;
   }
   if ((inFile2 ! EOF) && (inFile2Written == true))
   {

     inFile2 >> fClientNumber;
     inFile2 >> fClientName;
     inFile2Written = false;
   }
   if ((inFile == EOF) && (inFile2 == EOF))
   {
     atLeastOneFileNotAtEnd = false;
   }
 }
 inFile1.close();
 inFile2.close();
 outFile1.close();
 cout << "Merging Complete"

  system("pause");
  return 0;

}

Answer 1

The main problem is your way to check end-of-file.

if (inFile1 == EOF)

should be

if (inFile1.eof())

And somewhere you are using inFile which is not defined before, it should be inFile1 .

Another problem is, it seems you have put an unnecessary ; here

if (inFile1Written == false);
                            ^

Answer 2

You are using the EOF macro from C. There is no need to do this. Stick with C++ and use ifstream.eof() , and get rid of the cstdlib include.
