why cant i edit two files in a program?

Code:

---

#include <fstream.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main()
{       
        ofstream fout("getps.ftp");
        fout << "get fomky.123456\n";
        fout.close();
       
                ofstream fout("test.bat");
        fout << "edit getps.ftp\n";
        fout.close();

        system("test.bat");

        return 0;
}

---

there is error called in the line ofstream fout("test.bat"); which said " ofstream fout redefinition"
does it mean that i cant write data in two different files in the same program?
what should i do to over come the problem?

because you gave both the same name :rolleyes:

Code:

---

#include <fstream.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main()
{       
        ofstream fileone("getps.ftp");  // first one
        fileone << "get fomky.123456\n";
        fileone.close();
       
                ofstream filetwo("test.bat");
        filetwo << "edit getps.ftp\n";
        filetwo.close();

        system("test.bat");

        return 0;
}

You can call your 'fout' var whatever you want, in this case I called them fileone and filetwo.

solved. thank you !

You can also reuse the same variable just don't try to re-declare it.

Code:

---

#include <fstream.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main()
{
  ofstream fout("getps.ftp");
  fout << "get fomky.123456\n";
  fout.close();

  fout.open("test.bat");
  fout << "edit getps.ftp\n";
  fout.close();

  system("test.bat");

  return 0;
}
