thats our code..


im just confused.. ssee i want to find out how to put the structure into the file.. so that it saves the users info. any help would be awesome.

If you could leave your msn messenger address that would be awesome to help us.

1. Please, use Code tags. Otherwise your code is absolutely unreadable. See Announcement: Before you post....
2. Please, Please, provide more info about what you are trying to achieve and what your problem is.

You can use the write() and read() methods.

What do you have against white space?

The question is, however: what for? :confused:

I do this habitually too. For me, it goes back to the days of writing programs on punch cards. I'm an old dog and I don't like to learn new tricks.

I used punched cards during at least my first three or four years (since 1976) in programming. But I never tried to "save" cards, nor card spaces! I always tried to create something more or less readable (because it was I who had to read/update the code punched on the cards!)

ok what i need to do is basically im writing a program for a bank. We ask the user if they want a new account ect, as you can see in the menu. If they select 1 it asks for some info, and that info needs to be saved to a file for opening if they want to display the account, or make mods to account such as change name, put a deposit, or make a withdrawl.

Thanks

You are 'writing a program for a bank", a kind of interactive program... And this "program" has no GUI at all? :confused:

gui?

no no no ... its not a real bank. Im in first year university, intro to programming course..
