My problem is that under the switch option R, I need the program to save a sentence to a file. Everything else runs good, except it won't save the proper sentence to file3. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, and sorry for the long code! Thank you!

I took this program and ran it with Code::Blocks and a MinGW compiler, and it was spitting out some garbage about the switch logic and fstream being incompatible. Replace your switch with if () and elseif() and that should fix this problem. Also change the "raffle(value) == 1" to "raffle(value) == true" for readability.

Wolfgang,
Thank you so much! I made the changes you suggested and it finally worked! Thank you so much once again!! :D
