newbie

I try to write a simple program that writes something in a file like I saw in the input/output tutorial from your site.
Everything is compiling nicely but happens nothing with the file.
I thing that the program just doesn't know where to look for the file.

#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
using namespace std;

int main () {
  ofstream myfile ("exercise.txt");
  if (myfile.is_open())
  {
    myfile << "This is a line.\n";
    myfile << "This is another line.\n";
    myfile.close();
  }
  else cout << "Unable to open file";
  cin.get();
  return 0;
}

    myfile << flush;

  myfile.close();
  cin.get();
  return 0;
}

It happens absolutely nothing.

ofstream creates the file in the location next to the executable. Are you looking where the executable is?

Yes is there.
I've found it.
Thank you.
