    So far I have gotten this far. But I have no idea how to fill in the missing parts that I left // comments with.

    http://csula.web.pcwerk.com/wp/wp-co...homework02.pdf

    This is the given assignment. Could someone help me fill in the rest of the code. I'm missing quite a huge chunk I understand but this is as far as I can go. When I try to run it, It asks for the .conf files.

    The idea of the homework is that I will have a menu with the given options, Device Name, Device Location, Device on/off/percentage, and a list of each of these things. I got some of the code down but I'm not sure how to fill in the rest of it. Or how to input the .conf files in there

    These are the sample .conf files my teacher assigned.
    http://csula.web.pcwerk.com/wp/wp-co...vice.conf_.txt
    http://csula.web.pcwerk.com/wp/wp-co...tion.conf_.txt
    http://csula.web.pcwerk.com/wp/wp-co...menu.conf_.txt

    The teacher wanted the coding in that format so it is like that. I do understand there are other ways of doing this. Could someone please help~! Due in 6 hours....

    Thank you.

    So you wnat us to read your assignment, read your butt-load of code and determine what you need as well as what gaps there are in your knowledge and understanding. All that with zero information from you.

    The chances of anyone 'filling in the rest of the code' are slim, and in all honestly against forum rules. My suggestions: 1) read the 'getting help' link in my signature 2) Read this article 3) Prepare a bit more - due in 6 hours does not give yourself much breathing room.
