Hello All,

I posted a thread on this ages ago, but I didn't get it and the code didn't work, anyway the code I was given was as follows:

I'd like to know if there is a simpler code that works, or what to put (like replace loada.txt with the name of the text file I want).

Thanks.

There are a lot of things fishy with this code man ^_^
First of all, did you remember to #include <iostream>
and #include <fstream>?
second, you forgot a space between using and namespace... not a big one, but thought I'd put it out there...
Now... You write to the text file twice... Once here:
outstream << firstName;
outstream << secondName;
and once here:
myfile <<"\n"<<firstName<<" | "<< secondName;
myfile.close();

And I'm guessing that is why your program didn't work?

So I take out

myfile <<"\n"<<firstName<<" | "<< secondName;
myfile.close();

Also, I had an error when putting the code up there, in the real source it did have a space in between the using namespace std and I did inlude those libraries, any others I should of included?

Thanks.

If I were you, I'd rather take out:

ofstream outstream("loada.txt");
outstream << firstName;
outstream << secondName;
