    Post Another way to write to files?

    Code:
    #include <fstream>
    #include <iostream>
    using namespace std;
    
    int main()
    {
        char recnam[50];
        char text[120];
        
        cout<< "Enter Recipe name \n";
        cin.getline(recnam, 50, '\n');
        ofstream reci( "recipe.txt" );
        reci<< recnam<< '\n \n';
        cin.getline(text, 120, '\n');
        reci<< text<< '\n';
        cin.getline(text, 120, '\n');
        reci<< text<< '\n';
        cin.getline(text, 120, '\n');
        reci<< text<< '\n';
        cin.getline(text, 120, '\n');
        reci<< text<< '\n';
        reci.close();
    }
    this little program above will write 4 lines of text to a file named "recipe.txt"
    isn't there a better way to do this? (please say yes lol)
    I'm using a "recipe" as an example, but I want to be able to write, basically.. a text editor lol...
    I'm just starting so I grabbed bloodshed Dev-C++ IDE.
    Anyway.. can anyone help me?

    You could certainly use a loop.

    Compilers can produce warnings - make the compiler programmers happy: Use them!
