file directory.

[bijan311]

I made a simple notepad and was wondering if anyone knew how to let the user choose where the file is saved.
Here is my code.

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <fstream>

using namespace std;

int main(){
	string text;
	string name;
	string txt = ".txt";
	ofstream test;
	char edit;

	
	cout<<"Enter some text\n";
	getline(cin, text);

	cout<<"enter the file name\n";
	getline(cin, name);
	string two = name + txt;
	test.open (two);
	test<< text;
	test.close();
	system("pause");
}

Thank You.

Type in a path (relative to current working directory) along with the file name in the code you've already provided and it would work as is (provided the path exists).

Could you give me an example?

You are asking the user to enter the filename. Just type in the path along with the filename at that point in your program and the file would be created there... there is no magic.

i.e. instead of "filename", have the user enter "c:/directory/filename"
