else {

//load game.

}

you will need to #include <stdio.h>...

Great idea!! Let's use outdated C File I/O in C++ when we're already including libraries that use ostream and istream. Why would you mix the two and what makes you think that code works better?

well i followed the following path...

Code:

	while(true) //To Open/make new game.
	{
		ifstream Rd("save.dat");
		if(!Rd)
		{
				GameHistory();
				MakeNewGame();
				clrscr;
			break;
		}
		Rd>>Name;
		Rd>>Cash;
		cout<<"Welcome back "<<Name<<", you have $"<<Cash<<" in your pocket\n";
		break;

and then in MakeNewGame

Code:

void MakeNewGame()
{
	string Name;
	int Cash;
	cout<<"What is your name?\n";
	cin>>Name;
	Cash=100;
	ofstream Wrt("save.dat");
	Wrt<<Name<<'\n';
	Wrt<<Cash;
	Wrt.close();
	cout<<"Thank You "<<Name<<"! Saved game has been created!\n";
	cout<<"You have $"<<Cash<<" in your pocket.\n";
}

And this works quite good...

Now what i need to know, is this a decemt way to do it, or can anyone reconmend a better way...
I am trying to keep
int main()
{
...
}

as short as possible
