Hi,
I'm doing a homework assignment, but I have done most of the work and am only looking for some tutoring to get past this small portion of the program I have been tasked to write.
The program says that a filename of "numbers.txt" will be defaulted to if the user presses enter when prompted. I set this up as a string and had no problem getting the default value to work properly. My problem occurs when the user tries to create a file with an actual name. I try to infile.open, but it won't accept my variable I used to create the string.
I'm not sure if this makes sense, but hopefully my code will. Here goes nothing:
-
void fileName(){
-
-
ifstream infile;
-
-
cout<<"Please enter a name for your file: ";
-
string x;
-
getline(cin,x);
-
-
if(x == "\0"){
-
cout<<"Your filename will be numbers.txt";
-
infile.open("nums.in");
-
}
-
else{
-
cout<<"Your filename will be "<<x<<endl<<endl;
-
infile.open();
-
}
-
}
Where I have infile.open(), I haven't been able to find anything I can use to place inside the parenthesis. If anyone can help me out, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks...
