text

anyone?

this program allows the user to name the file and then write text to a .txt file. the only problem is that the program limits how many characters the user can enter. how can i fix this?
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;

int main () {
ofstream myfile;
char text[300];
char text2[20];
cout << "name your file (example.txt)" << endl;
cin.getline(text2,20);
cout << "enter your text" << endl;
cin.getline(text,300);
myfile.open (text2);
myfile << text;
myfile.close();
system ("pause");
return 0;
}

it still stops after a certain amount of characters can some one post a way to make it so that you can enter more words/characters :confused: ? should i add more strings to contain text or is there another way.

c_str() returns a const char * representation of the string object. You need to use it when a function call expects a const char * argument, and you're using a std::string object. A classic example is opening a file whose name is stored in a string object. fstream::open accepts onlt char/wchar_t * names, not strings.
