adding numbers to end of file.

[theco0kie]

Im trying to write a number to the end of a file
but it does not work.

file is the name of the file being sent to this function "test"

 void operation6(string file)
{
	ofstream outfile;
	file += ".txt";
	outfile.open(file.c_str, ios_base::ate );
	outfile << 11;
	outfile.close();
	system ("pause");
}

You should check whether the file was opened successfully.

[theco0kie]

yes that is checked before operation6 is ran

[Peter87]

file.c_str should be file.c_str().

I do not see where this check is. I see an invalid statement instead

outfile.open(file.c_str, ios_base::ate );

Shall be

outfile.open(file.c_str(), ios_base::ate );

[theco0kie]

ah ok, thought you didn't need those when there was more after.

Thanks guys but now its still overwriting the file.

Maybe try ios_base::app rather than ios_base::ate

[vlad from moscow]

Try to add ios_base::app
