How do I output multiple string variables from a txt file?

Question

I am doing an assignment for my CSIS 123 class and I am having trouble with my outfile. I have declared multiple string variables but they won't print properly in the output txt file. I am using visual studio. I am an amateur just fyi.

Answer 1

Just read it carefully and see if something is wrong one mistake can screw it all

Answer 2

thank you for the example, but I think that's beyond the chapter we're on. the output should result in press any key to continue, and the actual result should be in another file as directed. this is the input file https://mcckc.blackboard.com/bbcswebdav/pid-1706378-dt-content-rid-5443433_1/courses/1178_LV_CSIS123_42270/input_file.txt and the output file should look something like this
Movie Title: Raising_Arizona Budget: $6000000.00 Gross: $22847564.00 Profit Margin: $16847564.00 Movie Title: Vampire's_Kiss Budget: $2000000.00 Gross: $725131.00 Profit Margin: $-1274869.00 Movie Title: The_Wicker_Man Budget: $40000000.00 Gross: $23643531.00 Profit Margin: $-16356469.00 Movie Title: The_Ice_Pirates Budget: $9000000.00 Gross: $13075390.00 Profit Margin: $4075390.00 Movie Title: Krull Budget: $47000000.00 Gross: $16519460.00 Profit Margin: $-30480540.00

Answer 5

then You'll write again and again your block of code.

Answer 20

{
infile >> movie_title;

outfile << "Movie Title: " << movie_title << endl;

infile >> budget
>> gross;

outfile << setprecision(2) << fixed << showpoint
<< "Budget: quot; << budget << endl
<< "Gross: quot; << gross << endl;

net_profit = gross - budget;

outfile << "Profit Margin: quot; << net_profit << '\n' << endl;
}
