[Dev-C++] problem writing data to file

[<Bah...@ao...>]

all i need to do is write  a few variables (int's) to a text file. the 
segment of data that makes the file looks like this :

        FILE * pFile;
        char buffer[] = "???";
        pFile = fopen (MonName, "w");
        fwrite (buffer , 1 , 100 , pFile);
        fclose (pFile);

MonName is the file's name. it turns out to be whatever the contents of 
MonName are

??? is what i need to  change

how would i make buffer[] represent :

cout << "The level is " << level << ", and the name is " MonName;
The level is 1 and the monster name is Red Dragon

also, not as important, but how would i have .txt be placed at the end of the 
file???

If you are interested in making a text file then
fprintf and fscanf are the functions which you should
be using. Also, if it is really a binary file that you
are interested in creating, then use "wb" instead of
just "w".

For example, this is what you might want to do:

FILE *pFile;
char buffer[] = "???";
MonName = "RockSteady.txt"; // Lets say!!
pFile = fopen(MonName, "w");

fprintf(pFile, "%s", buffer);
fclose(pFile);

Hope this helps,
Siva Chandra.

[Per W. <pw...@ia...>]

Note that fscanf is for reading, not writing. It is also a very dangerous
function to use, since reading strings with it have a tendancy to result
in buffer overflows ;)
