Thread: File I/O problem.

This-

Code:

ofstream savefile("arenasave.sav");

-is giving me this error:

Code:

varieable `std:: ofstream savefile' has initializer but

I have no idea what that means.

(Note: Before I upgraded to the latest Dev C++ it worked fine)

This works fine here:

Code:

#include <fstream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
  ofstream savefile("arenasave.sav");
}

I suggest you post a bit more of your code if it still doesn't work.

Well, I tested the code on a different computer with the same compiler, and it worked fine.

...but...

I did have some errors installing the compiler so I am reinstalling it. Maybe the problem lies with it, not my code.

BTW: Do I need to include the "Using Namespace Std"?

namespaces

>> Do I need to include the "Using Namespace Std"?
Its best to tell the compiler which namespace your functions are in. You can do it various ways, as the FAQ shows.

Ah.

Anyway, it was my compiler, reinstalling fixed it.

I've had that problem with the latest Dev compiler as well... usually I just recompile it a few times and it will work... other times I have to restart my computer and try again.
