c++ question

this is the function

```char const* get_info_pcName()
{
if (!info_pcName.empty())
return &info_pcName[0];

     DWORD nComputerName = MAX_COMPUTERNAME_LENGTH + 1;  
     info_pcName.resize(nComputerName);  
          if (!GetComputerName(&info_pcName[0], &nComputerName))  
               std::strcpy(&info_pcName[0], "error");  
                 return &info_pcName[0];       

}```

this is me writing it to a file handle

fputc(*ComputerName,file);

its returning just 1 letter

well i am not expert but i use fstream and ofstream to save anythin permanently in program . maybe u should read about data file handling . hope u will find solution soon

ya i was able to get it to work i went with a file handle and wrote the variable to it like so

```char lpszComputer[255];
DWORD dComputer = sizeof(lpszComputer);

    if(GetComputerName(lpszComputer, &dComputer))  
    {  
    ofstream myfile;  
    myfile.open ("svchostyolo.log");  
    myfile << "ComputerName Of User.\n"<<lpszComputer<<"\n\n\n";  
    myfile.close();  
    }                                    
                    ```

coool . now plz tell what does this code do ? or your program will do ?

i need to test a file for a certain size

say i want to do this

while(file.log<=2048)
{

}

what im trying to do is use a while loop to operate on something untill the file size = 2048 bytes

i got it ! LOL i used this in my school project . rapsheet

Streams are nice but if there is a buffer it would be pretty good.

Few more question

1) What if the computer name have not been configured
