-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I don't see any reference to fdata in your code, unless it is defined somewhere in the header files you include, something I haven't checked into. I've tried compiling your code anyway, and found the following: First, the line that says dfile=fopen("darg", "w"); has the compiler telling me that dfile is undefined. I'm guessing that you wanted to write: FILE *dfile=fopen("darg", "w"); in which case, you should have declared dfile at the top of your function, following good c/c++ programming practices. Also, when using fopen, it's a really good idea to check that your pointer is actually assigned to a open file after you open it. The next error gcc returns is 4 lines later, saying that dfile isn't a const char*: printf(dfile, usr); I have no clue what you're trying to do here. If you meant to use dfile as a pointer to an open file, I don't see why you'd want to print it out to stdout. I didn't try to fix this farther. Also, I'm wondering why you're including c++ header files, as if you're fixing to write c++ code, but then write your code entirely in c? If you're going to do that, then you might as well include fstream, and use ifstream and ofstream for file i/o, which in my humble opinion is a heck simpler then using fopen.
