opening from a .Dat file

DanielTNBaker
to the point this is the code i got:

#define CLIENTS "F:\\IVA\Clients.DAT"

im using turbo C++3

programs looking kl each function works but..

...everytime i try to display the clients in the DAT file they dont appear to be there.
i checked it out and it appears the DAT file isn't being created..

is the code wrong????

I'm not entirely sure how Turbo C++ deals with slashes, but you might try backwhacking your file path (ie - for every single slash, put two).

Most compilers (if not all) require you to use two backslashes in place of one when dealing with strings (especially filenames). The reason is that the backslash character is used for escape sequences such as \n (newline). If you want to print an actual backslash, you use the escape sequence for backslashes - \\. Thus,

"C:\\My Folder\\MyFile.ext"

is read in as

C:\My Folder\MyFile.ext

because the \\ are 'compiled' into \.
