Hello!
I'm new to c++ but I have a problem and desparate for help.
I'm trying to store string and integers into a file, but only strings get stored and integers dont. I tried casting,didnt work. Not to convolute you with my code, I came up with this small program to show. Any help is greatly appreciated
int main (int argc, char * const argv[]) {
ofstream outfile ("test.txt");
outfile << "hello" << endl;
outfile << 44 << endl;
outfile.close();
return 0;
}The code as posted works find. [assuming that you put a using namespace std;
There are two possible reasons that you are not seeing this code working.
(a) you haven't actually run THIS code. The error with the lack of std::, includes and
using namespace std; indicate that.
(b) You have strange file permissions, and you write the file BUT second time you cannot overwrite the file. To test that change the text, or put a test into the code to see if outfile is good. e.g. if (outfile.good()) std::cout<<"File good"<<std::endl; Note: try adding an extra line to the output , very very often people forget the last std::endl and also try putting the number output before the test string, and always change the txt string at each test.
