Printing Calculated Output to Textfile

[Kaelure]

I have a program that balances a checkbook using user input data. I need to print the data from the textbook to a textfile, but I have no idea how to pull all my data and print it. The output on the textfile needs to look exactly the same as the output in the regular window. I don't want any new input when it prints. It just needs to print all the data and keep the formating.

//CheckBook Balance Program
#include <iomanip>
#include <string>
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
//Declare Variables
	float balance;
	int deposits;
	int withdraws;
	float deposit_Array[999];
	float withdraws_Array[999];
	char runAgain;
	float newBalance = 0;
	char printfile;
	float with;
	float dep;
	//Reset values once program restarts
deposits = 0;
withdraws = 0;
balance = 0;

do
{//Begin Runagain Loop

//Give intstructions /Get data
	cout << "PLEASE PAY ATTENTION TO THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS." <<endl;
	cout << endl;
	cout << "This program is going to help you balance your checkbook."<<endl;
	cout << endl;
	cout << "Please enter your starting balance: $";
	cin >> balance;
	cout << "How many deposits have you made in the past month : ";
	cin >> deposits;

//start counter 
int counter = 1;


//Store deposits in an array 
	for(int ct = 0; ct< deposits; ct++)
	{
		cout << "Please enter deposit number "<<ct+1 << " : $";
		cin >> deposit_Array[ct];
	}

	cout << endl << endl;

//Get withdraw information
	cout << "How many withdraws did you have in the past month : ";
	cin >> withdraws;

//Store withdraws in an array
	for (int ctt = 0; ctt < withdraws; ctt++)
	{
		cout << "Please enter in withdraw number " << ctt+1<< " : $";
		cin >> withdraws_Array[ctt];
	}

//Move to next screen
	system("cls");

//DISPLAY CHECKBOOK SCREEN

cout <<    setiosflags(ios::fixed) << setprecision(2);
cout << setw(65)<<balance << endl;
//Show deposits and caluclate balance
for (int i=0; i < deposits; i++)
{
	newBalance= (deposit_Array[i] + balance);
	balance = newBalance;
	cout << setw(15) << deposit_Array[i] <<setw(50) <<newBalance << endl;
}

//Show Withdraws and calculate balance
for (int o=0; o <withdraws; o++)
{
	newBalance =(balance - withdraws_Array[o]);
	balance = newBalance;
	cout << setw(40) << withdraws_Array[o] << setw(25) <<newBalance<< endl;
}


//Formatting
cout << "#########################################################################" <<endl;
cout << "#########################################################################" <<endl;

//Make a copy of checkbook for file

cout <<"Do you want a copy of the check book balance sheet on file? (Y/N) :";
cin >> printfile;
printfile = tolower(printfile);

if (printfile =='y')
{
	ofstream outFile;
	outFile.open("checkbook.txt");
	cout <<"The file has been created."<<endl<<endl;

}

else if(printfile =='n') 
{
	cout << "No file was created."<<endl <<endl;

	//Run again input
cout << "Do you want to run this program again? (Y/N):" << endl;
cin >> runAgain;
runAgain = tolower(runAgain);


system("cls");
}// End loop
while (runAgain == 'y');


	return 0;
}//End Main Function

I know i need to use a void function for the printing and call it in the check to printfile but i dont know the code necessary to pull all my input. I've come up with this.

void checkbookfile(string nameOfFile)//writes the checkbook records to a file
{


	//Create file object and open it
	ofstream outFile;
	outFile.open("checkbook.txt", ios::out);

	//determine whether the file was opened
	if (outFile.is_open())
	{
	{//Print all the output to this file

	}

	//close the file
	outFile.close();

}
	else
		cout << "File could not be opened."<<endl;
	//end if

Actually just realized this could all be accomplished using out data...

//Make a copy of checkbook for file

cout <<"Do you want a copy of the check book balance sheet on file? (Y/N) :";
cin >> printfile;
printfile = tolower(printfile);

if (printfile =='y')
{

ofstream out_data("checkbook.txt");

//print data to file
out_data << "#########################################################################" <<endl;
out_data << "##################   Y O U R  C H E C K B O O K  H A S   ################" <<endl;
out_data << "##################         B E E N  B A L A N C E D      ################" <<endl;
out_data << "#########################################################################" <<endl;
out_data<< endl << endl;
out_data<< "       DEPOSITS               WITHDRAWLS                  BALANCE        "<<endl;
out_data<< "#########################################################################" <<endl;
out_data<<    setiosflags(ios::fixed) << setprecision(2);
out_data<< setw(65)<<balance << endl;
//Show deposits and caluclate balance
for (int i=0; i < deposits; i++)
{
	newBalance= (deposit_Array[i] + balance);
	balance = newBalance;
	out_data << setw(15) << deposit_Array[i] <<setw(50) <<newBalance << endl;
}

//Show Withdraws and calculate balance
for (int o=0; o <withdraws; o++)
{
	newBalance =(balance - withdraws_Array[o]);
	balance = newBalance;
	out_data << setw(40) << withdraws_Array[o] << setw(25) <<newBalance<< endl;
}


//Formatting
out_data << "#########################################################################" <<endl;
out_data << "#########################################################################" <<endl;


}

else if(printfile =='n') 
{
	cout << "No file was created."<<endl <<endl;
