Textbox to File

**Epo** · 06-16-2003

Hullo

I'm trying to read several pieces of text from various textboxes, and throw them into a textfile on separate lines, here's what I'm using so far:

Code:

struct QuestionTemplate
{
    char Q[1000];	//Holds the Question
    char A[250];	//Holds the Answer
};
QuestionTemplate NewQ;

Questions = fopen(Path, "a");
GetWindowText(txQuestion, NewQ.Q, GetWindowTextLength(txQuestion) + 1);
fprintf(Questions, NewQ.Q);
GetWindowText(txAnswer, NewQ.A, GetWindowTextLength(txQuestion) + 1);
fprintf(Questions, NewQ.A);

The problem is that it writes it all to one line, and I'm hoping to get various lines in there. Is there something I have to concatenate to the end of the character arrays? And, if so, what would it be?

Thanks

You should be using fstreams, and you're using fprintf improperly.

Code:

fprintf(Questions, "%s\n", NewQ.Q);

Also, you should check to make sure there were no errors while opening the file.

Code:

#include <cassert>
...
Questions = fopen(Path, "a");
assert( Questions != NULL );

You should try the Windows Forum for such questions, as you are likely to get more replies.

It looks like to me that GetWindowText() returns a null terminuated string from the text box, so if you wish to print each text box string on a new line, you will have to print the new line character yourself. Give it a shot, and let me know if it works.
