In this program when I withdraw money I want the PortAccount.txt to change to the new value of when money has been withdrawn, however it changes in the program but the .txt file value isn't changing whatsoever, I think its a problem with the loop but I cant seem to do it, the code that needs repairing is below.

Have you stepped through it with a debugger? That will help you see if and when it's actually executing line 121.

it all runs smoothly but the txt file wont change its value, theres a way in which you need to get the program to create a file with the same name as the one you read in but still new to C++
