Hey guys I am using code that does the following:
The problem is that if a file name is entered that does not exist for example c:\\fred.txt the error message will not appear and the txt file fread will be created. Any ideas what I have done wrong?Code:cin.ignore(); cin.getline(file, 250); ifstream test; test.open (file); if (test.fail()) { cout<<"error"<<endl; exit(1); } ...
Thanks.
