Thread: noobish file create system

You were missing several semicolons in various places. Also your output will not go to the file you are opening since you are writing to cout. Also, your function is not returning anything though it appears you want to return a char. You should also check that your file is open before you attempt to write to it. I would suggest this instead:

Code:

#include <fstream>
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
    cout << "filesystem creation of spr.txt for americas army.";
    ofstream spr1 ( "spr.txt" );

    if( spr1.is_open() )
    {
        for( int i = 1; i < 801; ++i )
            spr1 << "admin forceclass " << i << " spr\n";
        cout << "\nshud be made";
    }
    

    return 0;
}

I made this very same mistake when I was first starting out. Semicolons go between the three for statements, not commas. Commas would be used if you wanted to do something like this...

Code:

for(x = 1, y = 1; x < 801; ++x, ++y)
