Thread: wierd errors

hey, im havin some wierd errors with this file writing program i made a little while ago:

Code:

if(age == 15)
                {
                    ofstream fout("15MWeight.txt", ios::app);
                    fout << totalweight <<'\n';
                    fout.close();
                    
                    ofstream fout2("15MHeight.txt", ios::app);
                    fout2 << totalheight <<'\n';
                    fout2.close();
                }

it is obviously supposed to write the variables totalweight and total height to 15MWeight and 15MHeight respectively. The problem is that it will only write the Height file and not the weight one. I have the EXACT same setup for age 13 (copy + paste + changing 15s to 13s) and it works when I input data with the age being 13. Also i have the exact same setup for a 15 year old female and it works fine, too. anyone know why?


thanks a load

hmmmm....like i said before the 15 year old male category is the only section that doesnt work, and the even wierder thing is why would it create the height file but not the weight? f anything you would think it would be the other way around.

Code:

 
    if (gendermale == true)
        {
            if(age == 13)
                {
                    ofstream fout("13MWeight.txt", ios::app);
                    fout << totalweight <<'\n';
                    fout.close();
                    
                    ofstream fout2("13MHeight.txt", ios::app);
                    fout2 << totalheight <<'\n';
                    fout2.close();
                }    
            if(age == 14)
                {
                    ofstream fout("14MWeight.txt", ios::app);
                    fout << totalweight <<'\n';
                    fout.close();
                    
                    ofstream fout2("14MHeight.txt", ios::app);
                    fout2 << totalheight <<'\n';
                    fout2.close();
                }    
            if(age == 15)
                {
                    ofstream fout("15MWeight.txt", ios::app);
                    fout << totalweight <<'\n';
                    fout.close();
                    
                    ofstream fout2("15MHeight.txt", ios::app);
                    fout2 << totalheight <<'\n';
                    fout2.close();
                }    
            if(age == 16)
                {
                    ofstream fout("16MWeight.txt", ios::app);
                    fout << totalheight <<'\n';
                    fout.close();
                    
                    ofstream fout2("16MHeight.txt", ios::app);
                    fout2 << totalheight <<'\n';
                    fout2.close();
                }    
        }
        
    if (gendermale == false)   
        {
            if(age == 13)
                {
                    ofstream fout("13FWeight.txt", ios::app);
                    fout << totalweight <<'\n';
                    fout.close();
                    
                    ofstream fout2("13FHeight.txt", ios::app);
                    fout2 << totalheight <<'\n';
                    fout2.close();
                }    
            if(age == 14)
                {

                    fout.close();
                    
                    ofstream fout2("14FHeight.txt", ios::app);
                    fout2 << totalheight <<'\n';

            if(age == 15)
                {
                    ofstream fout("15FWeight.txt", ios::app);
                    fout << totalweight <<'\n';
                    fout.close();
                    
                    ofstream fout2("14FHeight.txt", ios::app);
                    fout2 << totalheight <<'\n';
                    fout2.close();
                }    
            if(age == 16)
                {
                    ofstream fout("16FWeight.txt", ios::app);
                    fout << totalheight <<'\n';
                    fout.close();
                    
                    ofstream fout2("16FHeight.txt", ios::app);
                    fout2 << totalheight <<'\n';
                    fout2.close();
                }

yea, i was thinking of that but i just didnt know the syntax for it, thanks man!

A better way of getting the filename uses stringstreams:

Code:

#include <sstream>
#include <iostream>

int main()
{
  	bool gendermale = true;
	const unsigned int age = 14;
	std::stringstream filename;
	filename << std::setw(2) << std::setfill('0') << age;
	filename << gendermale ? 'M' : 'F';
	filename << "Weight.txt";
	std::cout << (filename.str().c_str());
}
