Well, didn't you read the whole thread from the very begin?

ha..thanx alot I've figured out the way...but now caught up with another mess..
all these details are suppose to be written to a "notepad" and this is the coding that I used for it

void write_account()
{
account ac;

ofstream outFile;
outFile.open("Customer.txt",ios::in|ios::binary|ios::app);

ac.new_account();
outFile.write(reinterpret_cast<char *> (&ac), sizeof(account));
outFile.close();
}

but I'm not getting the output properly..its like jumbled with unknown characters...

What's the issue here?

P Lease, use Code tags. Otherwise your code is hard to read/understand.
What is account? And why do you cast account* to char*?
