Skiping through a text file?

I have a text file filled with words (one per line). When I tried this C++ function out, it worked once and then every time after it just returns nothing. What gives?

for (i=0;i<(rand()%10);i++){
              if (fin.eof()==true)
                 fin.seekg(ios::beg);
              fin.ignore(256,'/n');
          }
         
fin.getline(word,30);
         
          //TESTING
          cout<<"Found random word: "<<word<<endl;

Rand generates negative numbers as well as positive.

If it doesn't find the word, your program won't do anything.

2: I thought rand() was unsigned and only generated positive integers?

3: It's not looking for a specific word, just A word. I don't understand why it's not returning anything, because the only stuff in the file is words, /n and EOF.

Oh FFS I figured it out. \n not /n. DUH. :(

C++ now you have 3-“Ó ÅþNÓ‹²Ä[?
