Mulitiple definitions

[dellthinker]

Hi all, I'm trying to write to a file using a global variable. For example....

/* prog1.cpp */

#include "header.h"
ofstream out;
out.open(test,ios::app);
out << "Prog1 " << endl;
out.close();

/* prog2.cpp */

#include "header.h"
ofstream out;
out.open(test,ios::app);
out << "Prog2 " << endl;
out.close();

/* header.h */

char test[MAX_PATH]="file.txt";

However when I compile I get the multiple definition of `test' error for each source file. Does anyone know how I can sort this out? Thanx.
