writing results to a file

[Is_at_work]

My hangman game is complete. All i'm trying to do now is write the results of the end of the game to a file but the program is not doing that??

    return ('_');
  }

Your writefile function is fine. What makes you think it isn't working? It will create the file "results.txt" in the working directory. Have you looked in the working directory? This will (if you're using an IDE) probably not be the same directory that the source code is in.

If you want to be sure, try this (assuming you're on win):

myfile.open ("C:/complete/path/to/results.txt");

It works for me. Make sure you check the results.txt in the folder where your project is saved.

EDIT: What IDE are you using?
