Hey, I''m having trouble with writing to files. I''m trying to create a log system where you can keep important events down. Well, String doesn''t work, that just takes 1 word. char doesn''t work same thing. this is my code so far.

int main()
{
	string cmd1;
	display.display1 = 0;
	while(display.display1 == 0)
	{
		ifstream a_file("pass.txt");
		char string1[50];
		string pass;
		a_file >> string1;
		a_file.close();
		cout << " -----------------------------" << endl;
		cout << "| Welcome to the Demon Realms |" << endl;
		cout << "| Please enter password....   |" << endl;
		cout << " -----------------------------" << endl;
		cout << "Demon Realms Studios>> ";
		cin >> pass;
		if(pass == string1)
		{
			display.display1=(display.display1 + 1);
			cout << "Correct" << endl;
		}
		else
		{
			cout << "Incorrect" << endl;
		}
	}
	cout << "Demon Realms Studios>>" << endl;
	ofstream b_file("log.txt");
	cout << ": ";
	const int max = 50;
	char event[max];
	cin.getline(event, max);
	b_file << event;
	b_file.close();
	return(0);
}

but all it does is come up and say press anykey to continue and doesn''t let me actually type anything. Any sugustions?

Okey, now I''m beginning to think that my complier just syas well I fell like peeving ryan off and never work!
I''ve been working in this stupid thing for a month now!
Theres got to be a way where input will accept MORE then one word. If you have a space it just stops writing to the damn file right then and there. Heres the code
else if(cmd1 == "add")
{
char path[50];
cout << "Enter path name" << endl << ": ";
cin >> path;
cout << "What do you wish to add?" << endl;
const long max = 100;
char event[max];
cout << endl << ": ";
cin >> event;
cin.getline(event, max);
ofstream e_file(path);
e_file << event;
e_file.close();
}
WHATS GOING ON????

I think you need to use cin.get() to get more than 1 word. Cin (I believe) breaks at the first whitespace.

Hey, it''s not working so I might as well give the whole code. That might make it easier:

#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
	cout << "What do you wish to do???" << endl;
	string cmd1;
	cout << ": ";
	cin >> cmd1;
	if(cmd1 == "new")
	{
		cout << "What group do you wish to be?" << endl;
		string newusr;
		cout << ": ";
		cin >> newusr;
		ofstream a_file("newusr.bat");
		a_file << "md " << newusr << endl << "del newusr.bat" << endl;
		a_file.close();
		cout << "NOTE: Now please listen carefully," << endl;
		cout << "Execute newusr.bat then type in c to continue." << endl;
		string confirm;
		cout << ": ";
		cin >> confirm;
		if(confirm == "c")
		{
			ofstream b_file("log.txt");
			b_file << "Welcome from Demon Realms Studios!" << endl;
			b_file.close();
			cout << "Processing... Done." << endl;
			cout << "Now your almost done. Just click on move.bat now and" << endl;
			cout << "then your all set!" << endl;
			ofstream c_file("move.bat");
			c_file << "move log.txt " << newusr << endl << "del log.txt" << endl << "del move.bat" << endl;
			c_file.close();
			return(main());
		}
		else
		{
			cout << "Huh??" << endl;
		}
	}
	else if(cmd1 == "add")
	{
		char path[50];
		cout << "Enter path name" << endl << ": ";
		cin >> path;
		cout << "What do you wish to add?" << endl;
		const int max = 100;
		char event[max];
		cout << endl << ": ";
		cin >> event;
		cin.getline(event, max);
		ofstream e_file(path);
		e_file << cin.getline(event, max);
		e_file.close();
	}
	else
	{
		cout << "Huh??" << endl;
	}
	return(0);
}
