Help with the Output line of code

[TylerTCF]

Anyhelp with the ostringstream and datastream line would be appreciated. Can't seem to get the data to actually write to the text file...No data in results.txt, but the file is created by the program when I run it...

ofstream DataFile3("results.txt");
  cout<<"Writing...Please wait...."<<endl;
  for (a=0; a<Search.size(); a++)  {
	 cout<<Search[a].date<<" "<<Search[a].time<<" "<<Search[a].wind_obs<<" "<<Search[a].wind_sensor<<endl;
	 ostringstream Outgoing(DataStream3);
     Outgoing << Search[a].date << Search[a].time << Search[a].wind_obs <<Search[a].wind_sensor<<endl;

I don't see you writing to DataFile3 in that snippet.

[TylerTCF]

How can I make it output to DataFile3? Thanks!

[Narue]

How about changing this:

Outgoing << Search[a].date << Search[a].time << Search[a].wind_obs <<Search[a].wind_sensor<<endl;

To this:

DataFile3<< Search[a].date << Search[a].time << Search[a].wind_obs <<Search[a].wind_sensor<<endl;

I really can't hold your hand on this because the amount of code you've given is painfully small. I'm really just guessing here. If you want more help, or if my suggestion doesn't work, post more code.

  ofstream DataFile3("C:\\Documents and Settings\\ttrusse\\Desktop\\Algeciras\\C++\\results.txt");

  };
 return 0;
 }

On second thought, your code worked...do I still need the ostringstream line? I'm trying to figure out what the istringstream and ostringstream did for me...Thanks.

I'd say you don't need it, but it's not my place to dictate how you write your code. :)
