Um, if you can write:
cin>> text;
What's so difficult about writing:
a_file<<text;

The text would be limited to some integer though.

[Mario F.]

a_file<<"hello =) ";

becomes

a_file << text;

[eric123]

if i do it like that then i cant enter stuff to the file from the exe which is what i whant to do
and what will i have learn? so i like to not do it that way

[eric123]

a_file<<"hello =) ";

becomes

a_file << text;

not shore what u mean by this please say more

What is there left to say? Laserlight and I provided you with the same solution. replace your code as explained.

[eric123]

That variable text you are using to accept input and then ouput to a file is declared of type int. That is integer. It represents integral arithmetic types. What you want is text. you should declare it as a string.

add this below "#include <cstdio>"

#include <string>

and change int text; to string text;

And now that it is working, I suggest you start from the basics instead of already trying to create a file.

ty it is work lol and what you mean by basic how long can some 1 learn how to right very esey stuff <ya i no this is not that hard to you> i can do some stuff file i/o is just someting to learn i learn more and get batter this is the first time iv ever gotsometing to work useing file i/o
ya i no i needed help but everthange i no i learn from reading and a little help here and ther
i got a big problum whit tring to do alot fast and work on c++ for liek 12 hours then i get burned out and wount mess whit it for a long time but it makes me happy so i keep buying books alot of whats in them i still cant do but i like it =)

Well it meant something else before, but now means you probably should consider using punctuation when writing.

Anyways, start with the tutorials on this website. Go one by one in the order they are presented to you. It's hard to do file I/O if you can't even understand what is an int. You will feel much more rewarded if you do so. C++ just like everything else, requires a method of learning. The order of the tutorials on this website is one such method.

[eric123]

a_file<<"hello =) ";

becomes

a_file << text;

lol just so you no whin i akset what to you mean i was looking at it like

a_file << "text";

not like

a_file << text;

>.< ya i no im a noob

[eric123]

i cant understand all of it and like i said some times i go long time whitout working on it iv read every tutorial on this website for c++ i dont even understand hafe of it reading is not as good as noing what it means i do my best and keep going cuse i like doing it and its not like i have people that cant help me whit it only get help whit stuff like very little so if i do get a little it helps alot and agine thanks for your help=)

Please don't edit out your question when you've got your answer.
It makes the rest of the thread look meaningless.
