Text file output

[nhungr]

Hello.

I have a C++ function that ouputs a set of data text files. I pass the directory path of where I want the files to be stored to the function through a BSTR variable. I then need the function to take this path string and append it to the front of the name of each text file. For example:

DirPath = "C:\MyDocs\NewFolder"
Filename1 = "Textfile1.txt"
Filename2 = "Textfile2.txt"

Add the above to give:
Filename1 = "C:\MyDocs\NewFolder\Textfile1.txt"
Filename2 = "C:\MyDocs\NewFolder\Textfile2.txt"

Then output data into each of these files using ofstream.

Here is the code I have so far, however, nothing gets saved in the appropriate folder at all, and I don't know why. Where am I going wrong? It must be a pointer problem or something. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

	LPSTR DirPath;

	void MyFunction(BSTR DirPathArg)
	{
		DirPath = (LPSTR)DirPathArg;	
		OutputFiles();
	}

	void OutputFiles()
	{
		char filename1=*DirPath;
		char *buffer1=&filename1;
		strcat(buffer1,"\\Textfile1.txt");
	
		char filename2=*DirPath;
		char *buffer2=&filename2;
		strcat(buffer2,"\\Textfile2.txt");

		ofstream outfile1(buffer1);
		outfile1<< "Data1";
		[b]outfile1<< ... etc ...[/b]

		ofstream outfile2(buffer2);
		outfile2<< "Data2";
		[b]outfile2<< ... etc ...[/b]
	}

Ok, never mind. I got it. Rather silly mistake.

ie.

char filename1[MAXCHARS];
strcpy(filename1,DirPath);
strcat(filename1,"\\Textfile1.txt");
