Hello all,
I am trying to create a program which keeps track of football stats for individual players. The program is setup to read a list of players names, numbers, and positions from a .txt file and then put them into a strctured array, print them to the screen, and then to a .txt file on my computer. I am getting the program to read in from the text file and print to the screen but i am getting an problem with the output stream when writing to the new file. I have worked through the code several times, and compared it to other similar programs writen to do the same thing and cannot find my error. The output file gets created, there just seems to be an error when sending information to the file in my function (printFile). the code compiles but when ran hangs up in the file stream. I am using a function to do this but i also tried it brute force with a for loop and still get the same problem. any offer of assistance would be much appreciated. Thanks! (Code Below)
