Sorry i know this is rather large to be posting, but in order to understand the question you have to see all the code

First off i am not a student, i wrote all of this code myself so i have worked on this for quite a while. I only started programming 10-11 weeks ago and i need help.
this code opens an input file, creates a file name <string> then opens a new output file with the created name, inputs a preset number of data into the first output file, creates a new file name using strings, opens another output file with the newest string name, reads data from original input file, writes to newest output file and the cycle goes on and on til "eof". the ouput files are created but no data is written; however, the buffer is reading the data because if you use the "cout" at the end of the code all the data is displayed. Why can i overload the "ofstream fil" to create files but not to print??? and how do i print to the files???
