cout << player << endl;
cout << charactertype << endl; // or any varibale besides player
   cin.get();
   return 0;
}
it writes to only the player variable. the stuff inside stats.sav is......

This doesn''t have much to do with your question, but here''s some advice.

I hope that your book stresses that global variables are bad programming practice, unless they''re const. Try getting in the habbit of keeping variables local.

Ha! Even a better idea: use std::vector...

AND - use the source tags, encapsulated by ] and [

Give him a break, by the looks of it i''ld say hes only just started C++. Its not although hes going on a >10k lines project any time soon, when global variables will actually become a headache. Besides, global variables can sometimes be useful. cin and cout anyone?
