Thread: fstream

what is wrong with this?

Code:

#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
using namespace std;

	ifstream fin;
	ofstream fout;
	
int main()
{
	char* tname = 0;
	cout << "Enter the name of the file to change :" << endl;
	cin >> tname; 
	fout.open(tname);
	if (! fout.is_open())
	{
		cout << "Error opening file";
		return 1;
	} 
	fout << "yo bob!";
	fout.close();
	return 0;
}

my app crash when i try to run it..?

Use std::string:

Code:

#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;

	
int main()
{
	ofstream fout;
	string tname;
	cout << "Enter the name of the file to change :" << endl;
	cin >> tname; 
	fout.open(tname.c_str());
