I have some code to save a map:

Code:
void Save() { 
 COORD Pos;
 HANDLE hOt = GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE);
 DWORD reader;
 char buffer[2028];
 char DELO[1];
 int x_pos, y_pos;
 SHORT bc;
 
 for(bc=0; bc < 2028; bc++)
  DELO[0] = ' ';

 bc=0;
 ofstream file_out(MAINPATHNAME);
 file_out << "";
 if(!file_out) {
  clrscr();
  cout << "Unable to open file!";
  }
 for(y_pos=0; y_pos <= 24; y_pos++)
  for(x_pos=0; x_pos <= 80; x_pos++){
   bc++;
   Pos.X = x_pos;
   Pos.Y = y_pos;
   ReadConsoleOutputCharacter(hOt, &DELO[0], 1, Pos, &reader);
   if(x_pos == 80) {
    buffer[bc] = 'W';
  } else 
   buffer[bc] = DELO[0];
 }
 for(bc=0; bc < 2028; bc++) {
  if(buffer[bc] == 'W')
   file_out << endl;
  else
   file_out << buffer[bc];
 }
 file_out.close();
 clrscr();
 exit(0);
}
And some code to load it:

Code:
void load() {
 char DELO[1];
 SHORT x;

 ifstream file_in(MAINPATHNAME);
 
 if(!file_in)
  cout << "cannot open file.";

 for(x=0; x < 2050; x++) {
  if(!file_in.eof())
   break;
  file_in.getline(map, 1);
 }

 cout << map;
}
Now, when I save the map, it saves, but it saves some weird characters that shouldent be there also...

And when I try to load, it doesnt work at all? I'm a noob with files :/. I'm sure I messed something simple up, but I cant find any help on the matter. :/.
