Thread: txtfile title=char and concatenating=string, must convert string to char =( need help

well first of all, I'm using windows and new compiler(Bloodshed DevCpp YAY )

well here's my situation i cant really continue unless there's a solution...

The problem is under function void make_file. I tried using the loop thing and lib string isn't really helping(or i just didnt know the potential of it) anyways i hope someone can help me. i cant make the file name unless its char, and i placed the supposed to be file name in struct name.data[1] and its a string(why string cuz i concatenated it). and converting it to char is probably my first prob. Mind that my problem is only focused on function void make_file. others works fine. but suggestion swill be accepted, if your wondering what the hell i;m doing... just imagine cut file from one directory like "c:\" to "d:\" with file creating, deleting files and extras

Thanks in advance

Code:

#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
// string data 1 is from/old and data 2 is to/new kk?
struct info{string data[2];}location,name,msg;

void create();
void open();
void del();
void make_file();


int main()
{
    int select = 0;
    while(select<1||select>4)
    {
        system("cls");
        cout<<"Select File Option: \n";
        cout<<"[1] - Create File \n";
        cout<<"[2] - Open File \n";
        cout<<"[3] - Delete File \n";
        cout<<"[4] - Exit \n";
        cout<<"Execute: ";
        cin>>select;
        switch(select)
        {
            case 1: create();
                    break;
            case 2: open();
                    break;
            case 3: del();
                    break;
            case 4: system("cls");
                    cout<<"Thank you... \n";
                    cin.get();
                    break;
            default: 
                    cout<<"Please Enter Correctly";
                    system("pause");
                    break;
        }
    }
    system("pause");
    return 0;
}

void create()
{
    string filename;
    system("cls");
    cout<<"Create File: \n\n";
    cout<<"LocatioN: ";
    cin>>location.data[1];
    cout<<"\nFilename: ";
    cin>>filename;
//concat found here 
    filename += ".txt";
    name.data[1] = filename;
    cout<<"\nMessage: ";
    cin>>msg.data[1];
    
    make_file();
    
}

void open()
{
    system("cls");
    
}

void del()
{
    system("cls");
}

// here's the problem...
void make_file()
{
    char we[50];
    we=name.data[1];
    cout<<we;
}
