Save Chart to File

dtinsman (8)
How would I syntactically create a function that asks a user for a file name, and then saves a chart (previously opened in the program) to that file name.

This is what I have so far, but the file does not recreate the original file format like it is supposed to do.

Original readChart function:

1
2
3
4
5
6

9
10
11
12

void readChart(char chart[ROWS][COLS])
{
	int rowNumber;
	char seat1, seat2, seat3, seat4;

	while (!ins.eof())
	{
		ins >> rowNumber;
		ins >> seat1 >> seat2 >> seat3 >> seat4;
		chart[rowNumber - 1][0] = seat1;
		chart[rowNumber - 1][1] = seat2;
		chart[rowNumber - 1][2] = seat3;
		chart[rowNumber - 1][3] = seat4;
	}
}



function I am trying to write a new file with (need help with this one):

void saveSeatChartToFile()
{
	int rowNumber;
	char seat1, seat2, seat3, seat4;

	ins.open("chartIn.txt");
	outs.open("chartOut.txt");

	while (!ins.eof())
	{
		ins >> rowNumber;
		ins >> seat1 >> seat2 >> seat3 >> seat4;
		chart[rowNumber - 1][0] = seat1;
		chart[rowNumber - 1][1] = seat2;
		chart[rowNumber - 1][2] = seat3;
		chart[rowNumber - 1][3] = seat4;
		outs << seat1 << seat2 << seat3 << seat4;
		chart[rowNumber - 1][0] = seat1;
		chart[rowNumber - 1][1] = seat2;
		chart[rowNumber - 1][2] = seat3;
		chart[rowNumber - 1][3] = seat4;
	}

	ins.close();
	
	outs.close();
}
