ok, so i have 3 text files, 1 with prefixs, 1 with main/bodys, and 1 with suffixs, ok what i want a little program to do is randomly take 1 prefix, 1 main/body, and 1 suffix and put them together and save it in a weapons file, untill it has no more possible complete names, any help would be appreciated.

what you have is a massive link set, and you want to account all possible links.

What you need is to take a prefix, then go through the main parts one by one for that single prefix, but for each main part go through the suffixes once aswell.

Shoddy diagram:

pre1---->main1---->suf1
---->suf2
---->suf3
etc...
main2---->suf1
---->suf2
etc...

then carry on through all that.

for (int i = 0; i < numPrefixes; i++)
{
  for (int j = 0; j < numMain; j++)
  {
    for (int k = 0; k < numSuffixes; k++)
    {
      outFile << prefix<i> << main[j] << suffix[k] << endl;
    }
  }
}
