i am including short program i just need someone to look over it
the only problem is that the line .... fout2 << x; .... doesn't
execute. ... everything else works fine, even the program compiles
links with no problem

please post only a short answer pertaing to that only line
or e-mail me at matheo917@home.com




#include <fstream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
//-----------------------------------------------------

void Printing(string letters)
{
ofstream fout2("c:\My Documents\char.txt", ios::app);
if (fout2)
{
string x = letters;
fout2<< x;
// it only doesn't want to write this to the file
// everything is o.k. up to this point

}

else
cout << "char.txt never got opened for output";

fout2.close();
}

int main()
{
//------------------------------------------------------
ofstream fout("c:/My Documents/temp.txt");

int i = 0;
cout << "Please enter 20 characters: \n";
do
{
char character[21];
cin >> character[i];
fout << character[i];
i = i + 1;

}while(i < 20);

fout.close();
//--------------------------------------------------------
ifstream fin("c:/My Documents/temp.txt");

string letters;
int j;

while (!fin.eof())
{
getline(fin, letters, '\n\);
}
Printing(letters);
fin.close();
//--------------------------------------------------------

return 0;
}

Try flushing the file stream to make sure it isn't waiting for an "enter" to be printed before saving a line.
