file name :D

[kadaj]

hi.
As I know to make a file we should write like this:

FILE *fp=fopen("temp.txt", "w+");

but I want to for n students, get the name of the students from the user & for each student make a file with his/her name

how can i do this?! Is there another way to make files?!

fopen is very "C". You should look into the C++ ofstream class.

Notice the constructor that takes a file name string.

#include <iostream>

#define MAXCHARS 100

main()
{
	int counter,numberofnames;
	char nameofstudent[MAXCHARS];
	
	std::cout<<"How many students' files are we adding?  ";
	std::cin>>numberofnames;
	
	for(counter=0;counter<numberofnames;counter++)
	{
		std::cout<<"Name of student + file extension?  ";
		std::cin>>nameofstudent;
		std::cout<<"Creating file."<<std::endl;
		std::fstream myfile;
		myfile.open (nameofstudent, std::fstream::in | std::fstream::out | std::fstream::app);
		myfile.close();
		std::cout<<"File created."<<std::endl;
	}
	std::cout<<"All files are ready to use.";
	std::cin.ignore();
}
