Thread: Apending to a .dat File using ofstream

Hey evrbdy, Iam.TheJinx(who *cares);

Alas, another problem has arisen in my desparate attemp at VC. I am tryig to use the ofstream method of appending to a file. What is wrong with this source:
(Already declared the CStrings m_str's below, IDC_NAME is an Edit Box, and make sure to #include fstream.h)


void::OnSave()
{
char m_strName[100];
CDataDlg::GetWindowText(IDC_NAME, <--need help here-->);

<--Something to put the IDC_NAME string to strName[100];-->

ofstream dFile;
dFile.Open("data.dat");
dFile<<"Name: "<<m_strName<<"\n";
dFile<<"-------------------------------\n\n\n";
//etc. of dFile<<".." below
dFile.close();
}

Code:

void::OnSave() 
{
     //Get the text
     CString Var1 = m_strName.GetWindowText();//Easy way to do it

     //Output to file
     ofstream dFile; 
     dFile.Open("data.dat", ios::out | ios::app); Added from The V
     dFile<<"Name: "<<Var1<<"\n"; //Made change here
     dFile<<"-------------------------------\n\n\n"; 
     //etc. of dFile<<".." below 
     dFile.close(); 
}

.. I am at our oublic library and wanted to check for some replies. Thanks for your help guys, i try to get my code in tonight, if it doesn't work (I'm sure it will) then I'll post another reply

None of the above worked for me. I tried every way could to get these to work, but couldn't, any way I tried, whats up?
