Simple Problem

I'm trying to learn about file i/o but I can't get this program to work.

Code:

---

#include <fstream>
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
  char a_char;
  ofstream a_file ( "log.txt" );
  a_char = getchar();
  cout << a_char;
  a_file << a_char;
  a_file << "This text will now be inside of log.txt";
  a_file.close();
}

---

For some reason, the entered string is not going into the file.

Any help is appreciated!

I'm sorry, I just figured it out right after I posted.
