So... what's wrong so far?

string openFileNew(string nameOfFile, string directoryOfFile, string content) {

   FILE *FP = NULL;
   fp = fopen(fileNameToOpen), "r");
   fprintf(fp, content);
   
   fclose(fP); //Close file
   
}

 

Most code I've EVER seriously written, not counting the math header file.

}

 

One thing to think about so far is .txt gets appended to the end, even though you tell the user to stick .txt on the end when typing in the file. You'll end up with, say, blah.txt.txt when the user inputs blah.txt

[Kamikaze_Badger]

Yea... wasn't thinking very straight .

 

Could you list changes, oh mighty master of bone?

[markiemrboo]

Already did if you look carefully Read the comments!

[Kamikaze_Badger]

Too much... code...
