my WriteEntries function is not working... this snippet of code creates the file properly, but when i want to write the strings to the file... it does not work... anyone know why?
Code:/*********************/ /**** MCreateFile ****/ /*********************/ void MCreateFile() { Phonebook pbEntry; string filename; string directory = "Data/"; string dirfile; CLEARSCREEN; cout<<"\n\t\t\tPlease enter the filename: "; cin>>filename; filename.append(".txt"); dirfile=directory+filename; ifstream testFile; testFile.open(dirfile.c_str(), ios::in); fstream File(dirfile.c_str(), ios::out); if(testFile.good()) { testFile.close(); int samefile; cout<<"\n "<<setfill('=')<<setw(70)<<"="; cout<<"\n | There is a file at the current save location with the same name... |"; cout<<"\n "<<setfill('=')<<setw(70)<<"="<<endl; cout<<"\n\t\t\t <1>Overwrite"; cout<<"\n\t\t\t <2>Rename Current File"; cout<<"\n\t\t\t <3>Quit"; cout<<"\n\t\t\t ->: "; cin>>samefile; switch(samefile) { case 1: File.open(dirfile.c_str(), ios::out|ios::trunc); File.close(); break; case 2: filename.clear(); cout<<"\n\t\t\tNew File Name: "; cin>>filename; filename.append(".txt"); break; case 3: return; break; default: cout<<"\n\t\t\tNot a valid entry!"; cout<<"\n\t\t\t ->: "; } } dirfile=directory+filename; File.open(dirfile.c_str(), ios::out); if(File.bad()) { cout<<"\t\t\tFile could not be created!"; return; } else { cout<<"\n\t\t\t \'"<<filename<<"\' was created!!"<<endl<<endl; cin.ignore(); cin.get(); CLEARSCREEN; } int entrymenu; bool done=false; pbEntry.GetEntries(File); while(done==false) { cout<<setfill('-')<<setw(80)<<"-"; cout<<"\t\t\t\t "<<filename<<endl; cout<<setfill('-')<<setw(80)<<"-"; pbEntry.DisplayEntries(); cout<<"\t\t\t\t-(1)Add Entry"<<endl; cout<<"\t\t\t\t-(2)Delete Entry"<<endl; cout<<"\t\t\t\t-(3)Edit Entry"<<endl; cout<<"\t\t\t\t-(4)Save"<<endl; cout<<"\t\t\t\t-(5)Quit"<<endl; cout<<"\t\t\t\t->: "; cin>>entrymenu; switch(entrymenu) { case 1: pbEntry.Add(); break; case 2: pbEntry.Delete(); break; case 3: pbEntry.Edit(); break; case 4: pbEntry.WriteEntries(File); CLEARSCREEN; break; case 5: done=true; File.close(); return; break; default: cout<<"\t\t\tNot Valid!"; CLEARSCREEN; } } }Code:/*********************************/ /**** Phonebook::WriteEntries ****/ /*********************************/ void Phonebook::WriteEntries(fstream &fFile) { cout<<"DEBUG2"; // Seeing if the program ever makes it to this function... which it does... for(unsigned int i=0;i<vEntries.size();i++) { fFile<<"\n\t\t\tName\t\t\t:"<<vEntries[i].name; fFile<<"\n\t\t\tCell Phone Number\t:"<<vEntries[i].cnumber; fFile<<"\n\t\t\tHome Phone Number\t:"<<vEntries[i].hnumber; fFile<<"\n\t\t\tAddress\t\t:"<<vEntries[i].address<<endl<<endl; } }
