Okay, so this is a part of a larger project and it has turned into an over whelming mess. I have attached a few examples from the program.
What I am trying to do, is open a certain number of files to be read based off of the users input for a previous question. The user needs to also give the path to the folder, and I have to append the string with the filenames, which I haven't done yet because I am unsure of how I want to do that. But that isn't the issue at the moment. My problem is is that all my file pointers are errors, and my compiler is also saying that I have mismatched values that I am trying to compare, which I am not really sure why I am having that problem. Do you guys see anything/ know why my code is not working?
I have also attached a screen shot from one of the compilers I have tried. (yes I tried different ones, because there have been times that I have had massive errors, and then I changed compilers and they went away)

This code follows this pattern for about 800 lines.
