Little help with fstream outFile

[SoloXX]

Hey all,

Have a slight problem I can't seem to figure out. First, I am a beginner in C++ and this is an assignment due 4/2/2010. Forgive me if the solution is simple...it's just evading me at the moment.

OK, my problem is in the FSTREAM portion of my code (near the bottom). I am trying to read 5 numbers from an inFile. I got this working, however, the 2nd part is writing the stored numbers from the inFile into a SECOND file....which I named "outFile_Reverse.open" is my dilemma.

It does not read the correct numbers. I suspect it's reading numbers from the portion of the code titled "ARRAY OF INT" because I pasted the "for loop" into the FSTREAM logic. It displays "5 4 3 2 1" So, how can I make inFile_1 read the stored numbers_1 text file and display them in reversed order?

Here is my code:

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <fstream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
	
	int number[5];
	int input;
	int counter;
	string words[6];	
	const string end = "end of array";

	cout <<"\n=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-ARRAY OF INT-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=" <<endl;
	cout <<"\n\nThis portion of the program will ask you to type in 5 numbers." <<endl;
	cout <<"It will then display them back to you in reverse order." <<endl;
	cout <<"\nPlease enter 5 positive numbers with a space between each: "; 
	
		for (counter = 0; counter < 5; counter++)
		{
			cin >> number[counter];			
		}
	cout <<endl;
		
    cout <<"\nThe numbers in reverse order are ===>  ";
		for (counter = 4; counter >= 0; counter--)
		{
			cout <<number[counter] << " ";	
		}

cout <<"\n\n\n\n=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-ARRAY OF STRING=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=" <<endl;
cout <<"\n\nThis portion of the program will ask you to type in 5 words." <<endl;
cout <<"It will then use a do while loop and display the 1st and 3rd letter of each" <<endl;
cout <<"word using the substring function." <<endl;


cout <<"\nPlease enter 5 words:\n"<<endl;

	for (counter = 0; counter < 5; counter++)
	{
		cin >> words[counter];
	}
counter = 0;

cout <<"\n\nThe 1st and 3rd letter of each word you entered are:\n" <<endl;
do
{
	if(words[counter].size() >= 3)
	{
		cout << words[counter][0] << words[counter][2] << "\n\n";
	}
	else
	{
		cout <<"\n\n\tUH-OH ===> One or more words you entered have less than 3 characters." <<endl;
		cout <<"\tOnly words containing 3 OR MORE characters will display a result.)" <<endl;
	}
	counter++;
}
while (counter < 5);

cout <<"\n\n\n=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-FSTREAM=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=" <<endl;

cout <<"\nThis portion of the program will:\n\n" <<endl;
cout <<"1. Read 5 numbers FROM a text file" <<endl;
cout <<"2. Write the numbers in reverse order to a SECOND file" <<endl;
cout <<"3. Read 5 words in from a THIRD file" <<endl;
cout <<"4. Display results of words to the CONSOLE\n\n" <<endl;

    ifstream inFile_1;               	// File we are reading the numbers from
    ifstream inFile_2;                  // File we are reading the words from
    ofstream outFile_Reverse;           // File to use for output
    string numbers_1 ;                  // Name of number txt file
    string words_1;                     // Name of words txt fileLi
    int num1, num2, num3, num4, num5;   // Declaring variables to read numbers from stored file
    string w1, w2, w3, w4 ,w5;          // Declaring variables to read words from stored file									   
	
	inFile_1.open("numbers_1.txt");                // File stream variable to open numbers_1.txt file to read
	inFile_2.open("words_1.txt");                  // File stream varibale to open words_1.txt file to read
	outFile_Reverse.open("outFile_Reverse.txt");   // File stream variable to display reversed numbers into this outFile.


   /***********************************************************************************************

	inFile_1 >> numbers_1;

	outFile_Reverse << numbers_1; 
		for (counter = 4; counter >= 0; counter--)

			cout <<number[counter] << " ";	
		}

//	inFile_2 >> words;

//	cout <<"The words stored in the words.txt file are: "<<words<<;
