font size and saveing/loading

[genesaika]

I am working on a rather basic text based adventure useing dev-C++ and running in DOS i am useing windows vista and XP. i made a menu type of area on the screen and if u change locations it labels where u are but if the locations name is too long it moves my borders for the menu... im looking to make the fonts change if the size of the info is too large.

As for saving and laoding i have set up a code that i found online ( with some editing to work with my program) it seems to save all the info correctly but when i load it the info is garbled or set to odd places/numbers. it even removes the classes i have set while all this info is set to be saved.

this is the code i am useing for the save/load i dont have any idea on the font size :

 {
                          system ("cls");
                          cout << "Enter the name of the file you want to open: ";
                          cin >> FileName;
                          ifstream TUD(FileName);
                          TUD >> name >> lvl >> def >> exp >> max >> min >> gold >> healthmax >> manamax >> armo >> weap >> exp >> race >> numring >> nummana >> numhea >> nummaxmana >> nummaxhea;
                          system ("pause");
                          system ("cls");
                          cout << "It is best to maximize this window or you will have to scroll alot.\n\n";
                          system ("pause");
                          goto Menu;
                          }
 
 {
                            system ("cls");
                               cout << "\nEnter the name of the file you want to create: ";
                               cin >> FileName;
                               ofstream TUD(FileName, ios::out);
                               TUD << name  << "\n" << lvl  << "\n" << "\n" << def  << "\n" << "\n" << exp  << "\n" << max  << "\n" << min << "\n" << gold << "\n" << healthmax << "\n" << manamax << "\n" << armo << "\n" << weap << "\n" << exp << "\n" << race << "\n" << numring << "\n" << nummana << "\n" << numhea << "\n" << nummaxmana << "\n" << nummaxhea;
                               system ("pause");
                               goto Menu;
                       }

I am suspicious of your using the >> operator to read the file and to get the file name. This operator assumes a formmatted file where the extraction stops on whitespace.

I would feel better of you used getline() to enter the file name and to use a binary read on the file unless you know it is a text file.
