Getting a function to return a string

I'm trying to get a function to return a string with some user details in it, to a generic function that'll write it to a file. Does anyone know how to do this? My compiler doesn't like it when I do this

Code:

---

char Variable[100](int one, char two[20])

---

Or does anyone know how to return more then one integer?

You cannot pass arrays across functions and you cannot return the same.

1) You could do good to make the array as part of a structure / class and then return the object of the struct / class

2) You could dynamically allocate memory for the array and return the starting address of the array and receive the same using a pointer

to return a string:

#include <string>
using namespace std;

string functionName()
{}

to output it to a file:

Code:

---

#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
        string stringName = "hello";

        ofstream out("file2.txt");

        out << stringName << endl;

        out.close();

        return 0;

}

oops, meant:

string functionName()
{

return stringName;
}

Cmon, use an std::string type! There's a ++ after that C, and don't forget that!

u can't return more than one value, you could use a reference parameter tho.

void get_string(string &astring)
{
code;
cin>>astring;
}

in main:

string the_string;

get_string(the_string);
