txtfile title=char and concatenating=string, must convert string to char =( need help
well first of all, I'm using windows and new compiler(Bloodshed DevCpp YAY :D )
well here's my situation i cant really continue unless there's a solution...
The problem is under function void make_file. I tried using the loop thing and lib string isn't really helping(or i just didnt know the potential of it) anyways i hope someone can help me. i cant make the file name unless its char, and i placed the supposed to be file name in struct name.data[1] and its a string(why string cuz i concatenated it). and converting it to char is probably my first prob. Mind that my problem is only focused on function void make_file. others works fine. but suggestion swill be accepted, if your wondering what the hell i;m doing... just imagine cut file from one directory like "c:\" to "d:\" with file creating, deleting files and extras :D
Thanks in advance :D
Code:
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
// string data 1 is from/old and data 2 is to/new kk?
struct info{string data[2];}location,name,msg;
void create();
void open();
void del();
void make_file();
int main()
{
int select = 0;
while(select<1||select>4)
{
system("cls");
cout<<"Select File Option: \n";
cout<<"[1] - Create File \n";
cout<<"[2] - Open File \n";
cout<<"[3] - Delete File \n";
cout<<"[4] - Exit \n";
cout<<"Execute: ";
cin>>select;
switch(select)
{
case 1: create();
break;
case 2: open();
break;
case 3: del();
break;
case 4: system("cls");
cout<<"Thank you... \n";
cin.get();
break;
default:
cout<<"Please Enter Correctly";
system("pause");
break;
}
}
system("pause");
return 0;
}
void create()
{
string filename;
system("cls");
cout<<"Create File: \n\n";
cout<<"LocatioN: ";
cin>>location.data[1];
cout<<"\nFilename: ";
cin>>filename;
//concat found here
filename += ".txt";
name.data[1] = filename;
cout<<"\nMessage: ";
cin>>msg.data[1];
make_file();
}
void open()
{
system("cls");
}
void del()
{
system("cls");
}
// here's the problem...
void make_file()
{
char we[50];
we=name.data[1];
cout<<we;
}
