why this program dont work?

Code:

---

                        ofstream out;
    string dado;
    char q[18];
    cout<<"Digite o nome da pessoa que voce quer adicionar:\n";
    cin.getline( q,[18](q) );
    out.open( q,ios::app );
    cout<<"Digite os dados que voce queira adicionar:\n";
    getline(cin,dado);
    cin.ignore();
    out<< dado <<"\n";

---

Because it doesn't have a main() function. :)

This line

Code:

---

cin.getline( q,[18](q) );

---

is wrong.

Code:

---

cin.getline( q,[18](q) );

---

That is why

so what i have to place instead of that line?

Maybe something that is syntactically correct?

http://www.cppreference.com/cppio/getline.html

Code:

---

ofstream out;
    string nome;
    char q[18];
    cout<<"Digite o nome da pessoa que voce quer adicionar:\n";
    cout<<"O nome em letras minusculas e nome e sobrenome separadas por um ponto!\n";
    getline(cin,q);
    out.open( q,ios::app );
    cout<<"Digite os dados que voce queira adicionar:\n";
    cout<<"Lembre-se sempre usando espacos como se fosse um ponto: \n";
    getline(cin,nome);
    cin.ignore();
    out<< nome <<"\n";

whats wrong with this and what should i do to correct it?

Threads merged. In the future please keep all posts related to the same problem in the same thread.

Ok first thing is you should post an errors you recieve. They are a lot more helpful then a bunch of code with prompts in a language outside the board's standard language.

However the problem is that you are switching styles of getline() without actually looking at what they require.

Code:

---

getline(cin,nome);

---

This line is fine, the first parameter expects an istream and the second parameter expects a std::string, both of which you provide.

Code:

---

getline(cin,q);

---

Here you are providing an array of char instead of a std::string.

You want the getline I linked to you which wants:
a pointer to a char and the size of the buffer, and optionially a delimiting character. So it should look like:

Code:

---

cin.getline(q, 18);

---

or maybe even

Code:

---

cin.getline(q, sizeof q/sizeof q[0]);

---

if you are fimilar with the details of sizeof()

I also strongly and highly suggest that you read the forum guildlines found at:
