Using ofstream with MAX's save file dialogue...

I want to use MAX's write file dialogue with ofstream to allow new lines to be written without storing them in an array, as I am trying to store more data than can be fit in an array!

Files are created by the dialogue, but is_open() remains false. I think the problem is that open() is not getting the correct path from the MAX dialogue. I include fstream and iostream.

Please let me know how to solve this problem! Thank you!

This is the function giving me errors:

'void myobject_writefile(t_myobject *x, char *filename, short path)
{
    t_filehandle fh;

    char cpath[1024]; // store intended filepath here

    // create the file
    long err = path_createsysfile(filename, path, 'TEXT', &fh);

    // get the full filepath in characters for ofstream, in the format: path/filename
    if (!(err = path_topotentialname(path, "", cpath, false))) {
        strcat(cpath, "/");
        strcat(cpath, filename);
        object_post((t_object *)x, "Writing %s", cpath);
    }
    else
        object_error((t_object *)x, "Error trying to create %ld", err);

    // open the file & write data
    ofstream out;
    out.open(cpath, fstream::out | fstream::app);

    if (out.is_open()) {
        out.open(cpath);

        out << "1 " << a << endl;
        out << "2 " << b << endl;
        out << "3 " << c << endl;
        out << "4 " << d << endl;

        out.close();

        sysfile_close(fh);
    }
    else
        object_error((t_object *)x, "Error trying to write to this file...");
}'
