Creating files in specific directories

**Kyoto Oshiro** · 03-05-2002

I can write information to files, but I want to be able to save the resulting file to various folders. How do I do this? An example of my code is below. Thanks in advance for any help!

-----------------------
#include <iostream.h>
#include <fstream.h>
#include <string.h>

int main()
{
string Name,
School;

ofstream a_file("Info.doc");
a_file<< "Your name is : " << Name <<endl;
a_file<< "You go to " << School <<endl;
a_file.close();

return(0);
}
-----------------------

I would like to be able to save Info.doc (or whatever my file name is) in a different folder, anything but the base folder that I ran the program from (where the file normally creates). Any help is appreciated.

Code:

ofstream a_file("C:\\NameOf\\Other\\Folder\\Info.doc");

Of course, make sure the the folder/directory you are going to create the file in first exists. Otherwise you will need to go through some steps to create it (the directory) in your program.
