Please use useful thread titles in future. This one mught be polite, but it's not useful at all...

not quite sure what you're really asking anyway... You are already successfully using the cin stream to read a variable so surely you can just use what you already know?

Sorry,

ok iv managed to get my code to ask the user for the path to the file, the problem iv now got is when you enter the path, it quits out of my program and dont store it into games.db like what i need it todo. Please help?

Code:

ofstream out("games.db");

i think you have to overload the out operator, something like:

Code:

 #include <fstream>
using namespace std;

int main () {

  ofstream outfile;

  outfile.open ("test.txt", ofstream::out | ofstream::app);
  outfile << "This sentence is appended to the file content\n";
  outfile.close();

  return 0;
}
