Writing to a text file

[Sherry]

Hi. I'm working on an Offline Creation System. Basically, I'm trying to figure
out how to write data from a form in Borland Builder C++ 5 to a text file.
I don't know how to get the name of the text file to be input in by the user.
I always get an error unless I hardcode the name in. The whole arrangement
of file streams in this in confusing me. Can anyone help me out with a piece
of sample code or an idea of where to look for more detail?

if you are using the standard opendialog, then it has a property that is a
tstring with the name in it. You can save to that with savetofile(name).
Look on the tool thing for the name of the properties, thats why its there...

to use the standard dialog, add one. should be named opendialog1.
then when user wants a save, opendioalog1->execute();
and go from there.




You could also use an edit box to read the file name.
