program cannot find the directory.

[LAfSLyTq]

here is basically what my code is

string c2 = "checkpoint2.txt";
string c3 = "checkpoint3.txt";
string c4 = "checkpoint4.txt";
string c5 = "checkpoint5.txt";
string c6 = "checkpoint6.txt";
string c7 = "checkpoint7.txt";
string c8 = "checkpoint8.txt;
string c9 = "checkpoint.txt";

int main(){
	ofstream text;
	cin>>path;
	text.open(path + c2);
	text<<"2,0,0\n0,0,0\n0,0,0";
	text.close();
	text.open(path + c3);
	text<<"3,0,0\n0,0,0\n0,0,0";
	text.close();
	text.open(path + c4);
	text<<"4,0,0\n0,0,0\n0,0,0";
	text.close();
	text.open(path + c5);
	text<<"5,0,0\n0,0,0\n0,0,0";
	text.close();
	text.open(path + c6);
	text<<"6,0,0\n0,0,0\n0,0,0";
	text.close();
	text.open(path + c7);
	text<<"7,0,0\n0,0,0\n0,0,0";
	text.close();
	text.open(path + c8);
	text<<"8,0,0\n0,0,0\n0,0,0";
	text.close();
	text.open(path + c9);
	text<<"9,0,0\n0,0,0\n0,0,0";
	text.close();
} 

for some reason it will not let me use the directory of
C:\Users\Jeremy\Documents\My Games\

However, C:\Users\Jeremy\Documents\ will work just fine on its own.

help?

That folder does not exists by default in windows 7, did you created first ?

[LAfSLyTq]

yes

[naraku9333]

Your using cin to get the path so you probably get

C:\Users\Jeremy\Documents\My

as your path. Use getline instead.

[LAfSLyTq]

how do i use getline?

[naraku9333]

#include <string>
...
std::string str;
...
getline(std::cin,str);

[LAfSLyTq]

error: no instance of overloaded function "getline" matches the argument list
error: too few arguments in function call

[LAfSLyTq]

nevermind, i found out how to use getline, still doesnt work. i also tried using underscores. doesnt work

[naraku9333]

Try using fore slashes /

[LAfSLyTq]

already have

[LAfSLyTq]

please help?

[BlackSheep]

I'm surprised this code compiles at all, since most of it is a string. XD
How exactly are you using getline?

[LAfSLyTq]

getline(cin, path);


cin>>path; worked just as good.

[naraku9333]

Have you output the path with the filename to verify it is correct? Asleep Also have you tried escaping the back slashes?
Edit: my phones predictive text got me.

[LAfSLyTq]

im not understanding you, as ive said before c:\users\jeremy\documents\ worked

[LAfSLyTq]

help

[naraku9333]

I just ran this simplified version of your code and it works fine using getline, not with >>.

#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;

string c2 = "checkpoint2.txt";

int main(){
	string path;
	ofstream text;
	//cin>>path;
	getline(cin,path);
	text.open(path + c2);
	text<<"2,0,0\n0,0,0\n0,0,0";
	text.close();
	return 0;
} 

Edit: Run that code, if it doesn't work and you are absolutely sure the path is correct, check the folders permissions.

[LAfSLyTq]

1. im already running the program as admin, and 2. i never said it doesnt work i just said that it doesnt create the files in the directory i want

[Athar]

i never said it doesnt work

Oh? If it works, then aren't we done here?

Here's a line that you should run:
cout << path + c2 << endl;

That's common sense though, people shouldn't have to tell you this.

[RobBinS]

when you open the file, I saw you use

text.open(path + c5);

Normally you should open as C_string. Have you tried that?
