i can not figure out a way to let the user save their own file name in the ofstream i tried to do this...
string SaveName;
std:: ifstream input("finale.txt");
std:: ofstream output(SaveName);
and then a prompt asking user for SaveName i know this doesn't work but i dont know what else to do..... this is very frustrating......

char filename[FILENAME_MAX];
cout<<"Enter a filename to save to: ";
cin.getline ( filename, sizeof filename );
ofstream output ( filename );Using std::strings:

#include <fstream>
#include <string>
...
string filename;
cout<<"Enter a filename to save to: ";
getline ( cin, filename );
ofstream output ( filename.c_str() );
