Why Won't My Loop Put In The CSV My Pattern?

[shycas2008]

If you look at my loop here - I can't get the CSV it makes to contain everything I see in my application - any ideas? You're all so awesome for the expertise !

  #include <iostream>
#include <cmath>
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>
#include <ctime>
#include <iomanip>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
int hh;
int mm;
int ss;
int pick;
int ss_choice;
int mm_choice;
int hh_choice;
int ss_hh;
int ss_mm;
int ss_ss;
int mm_hh;
int mm_mm;
int mm_ss;
int hh_hh;
int hh_mm; 
int hh_ss;

cout << "Give Me A Start Time Please:\n";
char sep;
cin  >> hh >> sep >> mm >> sep >> ss;
cout << "Choose An Increment Type Please:\n";
cout << "1. Seconds:\n";
cout << "2. Minutes:\n";
cout << "3. Hours:\n";
cin  >> pick;

if (pick==1) {
char sep;
cout << "How Many Seconds?:\n";
cin  >> ss_choice;
cout << "What's Your End Time?:\n";
cin  >> ss_hh >> sep >> ss_mm >> sep >> ss_ss;
do {
	ofstream myfile;
	myfile.open ("output.csv");
	myfile << setfill('0') << setw(2) << hh << ":" << setfill('0') << setw(2) << mm << ":" << setfill('0') << setw(2) << (ss +=  ss_choice) << endl;
	cout << setfill('0') << setw(2) << hh << ":" << setfill('0') << setw(2) << mm << ":" << setfill('0') << setw(2) << (ss +=  ss_choice) << endl;
    if (ss >= 59) mm++, ss=00;
    if (mm >= 59) hh++, mm=00,ss=00;
    }
while (hh <= ss_hh);
return 0;
}
else if 
(pick==2)
{
char sep;
cout << "How Many Minutes?:\n";
cin  >> mm_choice;
cout << "What's Your End Time?:\n";
cin  >> mm_hh >> sep >> mm_mm >> sep >> mm_ss; // loop will be repeated once fixed.
do {
	cout << setfill('0') << setw(2) << hh << ":" << setfill('0') << setw(2) << (mm +=  mm_choice) << ":" << setfill('0') << setw(2) << ss << "\n";
    if (ss >= 60) mm++, ss=00;
    if (mm >= 60) hh++, mm=00,ss=00;
    }
while (hh <= mm_hh);
return 0;
}

else if 
(pick==3)
{
char sep;
cout << "How Many Hours?:\n";
cin  >> mm_choice;
cout << "What's Your End Time?:\n";
cin  >> hh_hh >> sep >> hh_mm >> sep >> hh_ss;
do {
	cout << setfill('0') << setw(2) << (hh += hh_choice) << ":" << setfill('0') << setw(2) << mm << ":" << setfill('0') << setw(2) << ss << "\n";
    if (ss >= 60) mm++, ss=00;
    if (mm >= 60) hh++, mm=00,ss=00;
    }
while (hh <= hh_hh);
return 0;
}

return 0;
}

"A CSV is a comma separated values file which allows data to be saved in a table structured format. CSVs look like a garden-variety spreadsheet but with a .csv extension (Traditionally they take the form of a text file containing information separated by commas, hence the name)." Source: https://support.bigcommerce.com/articles/Public/What-is-a-CSV-file-and-how-do-I-save-my-spreadsheet-as-one

By looking at your code (line 46-47), I do not see a comma separating the values.
To give you an idea, the following code creates a csv file of a multiplication table (100 x 100)

#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>


int main()
{

    const int max_Rows{ 101 };
    const int max_Cols{ 101 };

    std::ofstream outPutFile;
    outPutFile.open("Multiplication Table.csv");
    int multiplicationTable[max_Rows][max_Cols];

    for (int countRows = 0; countRows < max_Rows; countRows++)
    {
	   for (int countCols = 0; countCols < max_Cols; countCols++)
	   {
		  multiplicationTable[countRows][countCols] = countRows * countCols;
		  outPutFile << multiplicationTable[countRows][countCols] << ",";
	   }

	   outPutFile << std::endl;
    }

    outPutFile.close();

    return 0;
}

Move line 43 below line 45. Right now the loop re-opens the output file for each value and writes the output to be beginning of the file, erasing previous value.

dhayden - Worked like a champ. Thank you so much!

chico - thank you for the ideas!
