not sure why I keep getting this error.

CODE

while(counter <= size1){                                    //test for letters while the location
       if((phrase1[counter] == 'A' || phrase1[counter] == 'a')
          (phrase1[counter] == 'B' || phrase1[counter] == 'b')  //ERROR HERE
          (phrase1[counter] == 'C' || phrase1[counter] == 'c')
          (phrase1[counter] == 'D' || phrase1[counter] == 'd')
          (phrase1[counter] == 'E' || phrase1[counter] == 'e')
          (phrase1[counter] == 'F' || phrase1[counter] == 'f')
          (phrase1[counter] == 'G' || phrase1[counter] == 'g')
          (phrase1[counter] == 'H' || phrase1[counter] == 'h')
          (phrase1[counter] == 'I' || phrase1[counter] == 'i')
          (phrase1[counter] == 'J' || phrase1[counter] == 'j')
          (phrase1[counter] == 'K' || phrase1[counter] == 'k')
          (phrase1[counter] == 'L' || phrase1[counter] == 'l')
          (phrase1[counter] == 'M' || phrase1[counter] == 'm')
          (phrase1[counter] == 'N' || phrase1[counter] == 'n')
          (phrase1[counter] == 'O' || phrase1[counter] == 'o')
          (phrase1[counter] == 'P' || phrase1[counter] == 'p')
          (phrase1[counter] == 'Q' || phrase1[counter] == 'q')
          (phrase1[counter] == 'R' || phrase1[counter] == 'r')
          (phrase1[counter] == 'S' || phrase1[counter] == 's')
          (phrase1[counter] == 'T' || phrase1[counter] == 't')
          (phrase1[counter] == 'U' || phrase1[counter] == 'u')
          (phrase1[counter] == 'V' || phrase1[counter] == 'v')
          (phrase1[counter] == 'W' || phrase1[counter] == 'w')
          (phrase1[counter] == 'X' || phrase1[counter] == 'x')
          (phrase1[counter] == 'Y' || phrase1[counter] == 'y')
          (phrase1[counter] == 'Z' || phrase1[counter] == 'z')){
              newphrase1[counter2] = phrase1[counter];
              counter++;                              
              counter2++;
       }
       else{
           counter++;
       }
    }

usually this error shows when there are no closing brackets

hm...

CODE

...
(phrase1[counter] == 'C' || phrase1[counter] == 'c')
(phrase1[counter] == 'D' || phrase1[counter] == 'd')
...


what is this? maybe you wanted do write something like:

CODE

...
(phrase1[counter] == 'C' || phrase1[counter] == 'c') ||
(phrase1[counter] == 'D' || phrase1[counter] == 'd')
...

...there is an "isalpha()" function.

you can also write your own. All characters happen to have numeric values in the computer, for example A is 65 and Z is 90... So you can use a little logic to work things out:

CODE
char testchar = phrase1[counter];
if (testchar >= 'A' && testchar <= 'Z') {
// this is a capital letter...
} else if (testchar >= 'a' && testchar <= 'z') {
// this is a lower case letter
}

if ((testchar >='A' && testchar <= 'Z') || (testchar >='a' && testchar <= 'z')) {
//this is a alphabet character
}
