File Handling Troubles

[WarrenB]

In the code below the problem is the program is terminating without allowing for input (and thus not saving). Can anybody please help? oh btw, at first the output (please enter location to store) was also not showing automatically until i added the flush instruction. Thanks in advance. (no errors or warnings reported on compile)

void save(struct database outit[3])
{
char filename[20];
int mode = (ios:ut);
int index=0;
cout << &quot;Please enter location to store: &quot;;
cout.flush() // wasn't even displaying this
cin.getline(filename,20);
fstream fout(filename, mode);
for (index=0; index < 4; index++)
{
fout << outit[index].name;
fout << outit[index].age;
}
fout.close();
}

It should be like this:

void save(struct database outit[])

Done that but the program is still unexpectedly terminating as described. Warren Brown

I've worked out that it is running through all the code, but for some reason its not stopping for input and it is not writing to the entered location (basically because you can't enter a location, doesn't even work when you pre-specify a location), please help if possible, thanks. Warren Brown
