    Unhappy Help!

    Does anyone know how to write a function which can have any stream handle passed to it?

    For example.

    const char Handle[]="outfile"

    createfile(Handle,"Out.txt")

    What do you mean by "stream handle"? It looks like you're trying to pass a character array in that example.

    If that's what you're asking then:

    Code:
    const char array[25] = {"outfile"} //needs decriptor brackets
    const char file[25] = {"Out.txt"} //better not to pass strings
    
    //so we will pass "Out.txt"  as a variable as well
    
    createfile(array, file);
    
    //there you have 2 char strings being passed
    //and your function definition would look like this
    //with brackets in the definition to recieve the arrays
    
    void  createfile(char array[], char file[])
    {
         do stuff; 
    }
    Hope this helps
