Code won't write to file.

[Devynao]

It creates the .txt file but it doesn't write to it.

  void findLists () {
	 if (CreateDirectoryA ("ToDoLists", NULL)) {
	 //Directory created
	 }
	 else if (ERROR_ALREADY_EXISTS == GetLastError ()) {
	 //Directory already exists
	 }
	 else {
	 //Failed for some other reason
	 }
}


void createList () {
	string listItem;
	int continueList;

	string fileName;
	cout << "Enter a file Name, Example - example.txt" << endl;
	cin >> fileName;
	cin.ignore();
	ofstream myfile (fileName);

	cout << "Enter a list item >  ";
	myfile.open(fileName);
	getline(cin, listItem);
	myfile << listItem;
}


void createItems () {
	
}


void writeList () {

}


void readList () {

}


void deleteList () {

}


int main () {
	findLists();
	createList ();

	system ("PAUSE");
	return 0;
}

The file is already opened by line 22: ofstream myfile (fileName);
Comment out (or delete) line 25: myfile.open(fileName);

That worked. Now im trying to add in a loop, but after I enter the first item it display a continuous amount of characters.

void createList () {
	string listItem;
	bool userDone = false;
	string fileName;

	cout << "Enter a file Name, Example - example.txt" << endl;
	cin >> fileName;
	cin.ignore();
	ofstream myfile (fileName);
 
	while (userDone = "no")	{
		    
			cout << "Enter a list item >  ";

			getline(cin, listItem);
			myfile << listItem;
			

			cout << "Are you done? yes or no? >  ";
			cin   >> userDone;
			
	}
	
	myfile.close ();

}
