my first project, A question

whats not working here its meant to make a text file that goes:
admin forceclass 1 spr
" " 2 spr
3 spr etc uip to 2000

im getin all kinds of errors wont compile

the type is at users discretion

Code:

#include <fstream>
#include <iostream>
#include <cstring>
#include <windows.h>

using namespace std;

int main()
{

    char cont[3];
    char type[7];
    
    cout << "this is the americas army admin forceclass file maker.\n";
    sleep(60);
    cout << "this will make a .txt file anywere you have this program.\n";
    sleep(60);
    cout << "i suggest you have this program on your desktop so the file will show up on your desktop.\n";
    sleep(60);
    cout << "if this file is in a folder the .txt file will appear in the folder this program is in.\n";
    sleep(60);
    cout << "Copyright Richard Wilson, made with the Dev-C++ Compiler Code supplied/created by Richard Wilson, all rights reserved\n\n";
    sleep(60);
    cout << " do you wish to continue (y or n) \n";
    sleep(60);
    cout << "Enter: ";
    cin.getline ( cont, 3 );
    if ( strcmp ( cont, "n" ) == 0 ) {
         cout << "\npress enter to exit...";
         cin.get();
    }
    else if ( strcmp ( cont, "y" ) == 0 ) {
         cout << "\n what type of forceclass will it be?\n";
         cout << " exaple spr rpg m4a1 s24 sf etc. to be forceclassed.\n";
         cout << "    NOTE: this will also be the file name if you choose spr the file will be spr.txt!\n";
         cout << "please enter the type: ";
         cin.getline ( type, 7 );
         cout << "n\ Thank you, please wait wile your file is created.....";
         ofstream forceclass ( ""<< 'type' <<".txt" );
         
         if ( forceclass.is_open() ) {
              for ( int x = 1; x < 2001; ++x ) {
                  forceclass << "admin forceclass "<< x << 'type' <<"\n";
                  sleep(300);
                  cout << "\n File Succesfully Created! Press Enter!\n";
                  forceclass.close();
                  cin.ignore();              
              };
              else {
                   sleep(300);
                   cout << "\n File Cannot Be Created, Press Enter\n";
                   cin.ignore();
              }
         }
    cout << "This File (if created) will be located in the direcotry as previously described\n";
    cout << "Copyright Richard Wilson 2005\n";
    cout << "Contact Me at deathbydesire101@gmail.com if you discover any bugs...\n";
    cout << " Press Enter\n";
    cin.ignore();
    }
    cout << " quit the program by pressing enter\n";
    cout << "\n\n\n                         Thank You!";
    cin.get();
}

help plz

and the first sleep(60) it says its undeclared

this is my first C++ project and i will distribute this...

i want it to work badly!! ill give credits to the people who help me in the program. THANKS!

that because C++ is case senstive, try Sleep(60);

Code:

#include <fstream>
#include <iostream>
#include <cstring>
#include <windows.h>

using namespace std;

int main()
{

    char cont[3];
    char type[7];
    
    cout << "this is the americas army admin forceclass file maker.\n";
    Sleep(60);
    cout << "this will make a .txt file anywere you have this program.\n";
    Sleep(60);
    cout << "i suggest you have this program on your desktop so the file will show up on your desktop.\n";
    Sleep(60);
    cout << "if this file is in a folder the .txt file will appear in the folder this program is in.\n";
    Sleep(60);
    cout << "Copyright Richard Wilson, made with the Dev-C++ Compiler Code supplied/created by Richard Wilson, all rights reserved\n\n";
    Sleep(60);
    cout << " do you wish to continue (y or n) \n";
    Sleep(60);
    cout << "Enter: ";
    cin.getline ( cont, 3 );
    if ( strcmp ( cont, "n" ) == 0 ) {
         cout << "\npress enter to exit...";
         cin.get();
    }
    else if ( strcmp ( cont, "y" ) == 0 ) {
         cout << "\n what type of forceclass will it be?\n";
         cout << " exaple spr rpg m4a1 s24 sf etc. to be forceclassed.\n";
         cout << "    NOTE: this will also be the file name if you choose spr the file will be spr.txt!\n";
         cout << "please enter the type: ";
         cin.getline ( type, 7 );
         cout << "n\ Thank you, please wait wile your file is created.....";
         ofstream forceclass ( ""<< 'type' <<".txt" );
         
         if ( forceclass.is_open() ) {
              for ( int x = 1; x < 2001; ++x ) {
                  forceclass << "admin forceclass "<< x << 'type' <<"\n";
                  Sleep(300);
                  cout << "\n File Succesfully Created! Press Enter!\n";
                  forceclass.close();
                  cin.ignore();              
              };
              else {
                   Sleep(300);
                   cout << "\n File Cannot Be Created, Press Enter\n";
                   cin.ignore();

    cin.get();
}

lol eliminated that error but it still has eroors i dont know whats wrong trid everythin.

well i dont have access to my compiler right at the minute and i
dont feel liek scanning your code visually, lol sorry,
so if you could paste your error i will be glad to help.

Oh btw one error i noticed is after a for loop close brackets, you dont need a ';' , just the brackets.

i have to write it out

Line Error

there i think lol

You can't do this:

Code:

ofstream forceclass ( ""<< 'type' <<".txt" );

You will have to add .txt to your file name and end up with just the file name.

Code:

ofstream forceclass ( fileName );

I suggest reading up on File I/O and strings

Also

Code:

forceclass << "admin forceclass "<< x << 'type' <<"\n";

You are trying to output the char of an array pointer...Not so good.

I really would suggest using strings it would make it so much easier to learn and harder to mess up.

I went thru it and got rid of your errors, i didnt test it,
so you will have to tell me if it working as you expected,
but if you want to learn c++, then you should stop with
the ways of 'C' and learn things like this :

			  {
                  forceclass << "admin forceclass "<< x << 'type' <<"\n";
                  Sleep(300);

                  forceclass.close();
                  cin.ignore();              
              }
		 }
         else
		 {
              Sleep(300);

    cout << "\n\n\n                         Thank You!";
    cin.get();
}

it com[piled but there is a warning that comes with

Code:

forceclass << "admin forceclass "<< x << 'type' <<"\n";

multi-charecter charecter constant the program compiles and runs until it gets to fil successfully created! press enter once you press enter it just says it again andd again and so on...
the file created was rpg but the thing is it had this in it:
admin forceclass 11954115685
were shud be sumin like admin forceclass 1 rpg all the way to 2000

i think, nvm i have no clue

........ forgot bout strcat lol

Code:

strcat(type, ".txt");

but sstill the above errors

did you change all the code because i compiled with no errors.

yes copied n paste but i get errors when i run the damn thing and a warning wheni compile it i get how u did it (forgot bout strcat) just its malfunctioning lol i examined it it must be the input to forceclass i dont get it though and why when it gets to File Has Been Created Succesfully it repeats itself when u press enter :S

is it because i have ' around type? or should i have a pair of << when i enter those things
