output to file (extremely simple but...)

Hi there. I'm trying to make a program that loads a value from a file (starting from 0 ) and adds a number each time.
i.e. I have a file "data.log" that contains 0 , after the first run I add 100 so now it contains 100, then I add 50 , and it contains 150 and so on.

Code:

---

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

int main()
{
    int MyScore = 0 , i = 0;
        char Temp = '0', c = '0';
    fstream my_file;
    my_file.open("data.log",  ios::out | ios::in);
   
        if( my_file) cout <<"found"<<endl;
    else cout <<"not found"<<endl;
   
// LOADING FROM FILE
        my_file.get(Temp);
   
        cout<<setw(40)<<"Simple Program"<<endl;
        for(i=0;i<80;i++) cout<<'-';
        gputs("How much completed?:\na. 1/3\nb. 1/2\nc. 1\n ans = ");
    c = cin.get();
    switch (c)
        {
        case 'a': MyScore += 50; break;
        case 'b': MyScore += 75; break;
        case 'c': MyScore +=100; break;
        default :  break;
        }
        cout<<endl<<endl;

    MyScore += Temp - '0';
        my_file<<"My Score is :"<<MyScore<<endl;
    my_file.put(MyScore);

        my_file.close();
    cin.get();
    return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}

The problem is: 4 lines before the end

Code:

---

my_file.put(MyScore);

---

doesn't work as it should
Do you have any idea why?

put() outputs a character, and so it is turning your int score into the character with that character code. You already output the score on the line above, so what are you trying to do with put?

oops , I couldn't decide which function to use. Anyway, even the line

Code:

---

my_file<<"My Score is :"<<MyScore<<endl;

---

doesn't work.
I noticed that if I remove the main part

Code:

---

   
// LOADING FROM FILE
        my_file.get(Temp);
   
        cout<<setw(40)<<"Simple Program"<<endl;
        for(i=0;i<80;i++) cout<<'-';
        gputs("How much completed?:\na. 1/3\nb. 1/2\nc. 1\n ans = ");
    c = cin.get();
    switch (c)
        {
        case 'a': MyScore += 50; break;
        case 'b': MyScore += 75; break;
        case 'c': MyScore +=100; break;
        default :  break;
        }
        cout<<endl<<endl;

    MyScore += Temp - '0';

it works fine

You shouldn't use general fstreams to do both input and output because there are wacky rules for switching between I and O and sometimes it just doesn't work for no reason. But there's reasons, and one of them is the eofbit being set and stopping all operations on the stream. Try this and see if it works:

Code:

---

my_file.clear();
my_file<<"My Score is :"<<MyScore<<endl;
my_file.put(MyScore);

I tried it and it worked! thanks a lot.

Stream I/O is the only thing I'm really good at. ;)

I'm pretty sure that EXIT_SUCCESS is in <cstdlib>.
