In C++, how would you prevent it from writing over a line in a file?

How would you prevent it from writing over a line in a file? For example, whenver I run this program and type multiple things in, in just keeps on writing over the same line, instead of making a new one for each input. Can somebody show me how to prevent this?





#include %26lt;iostream%26gt;


#include %26lt;stdlib.h%26gt;


#include %26lt;string%26gt;


#include %26lt;cstdlib%26gt;


#include %26lt;fstream%26gt;


using namespace std;


int main()


{


cout %26lt;%26lt; "Please enter the person whom you are voting for." %26lt;%26lt; endl;


string name;


cin %26gt;%26gt; name;


if (name == "exit") {


return 0;


}


else {


ofstream outfile("votinglog.txt");


outfile %26lt;%26lt; name %26lt;%26lt; "\n" %26lt;%26lt; endl;


cout %26lt;%26lt; "Thank you, your vote has been received. \a " %26lt;%26lt; endl;


outfile.close();


return main();


}


}

Look at http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/iostr... . You'll see that you want to open up the file for appending. Hence, you should do something like outfile("votinglog.txt", ios::app)





Other remarks:


- #include %26lt;stdlib.h%26gt; - Deprecated. The correct form is %26lt;cstdlib%26gt; . Which you did anyway. So why %26lt;stdlib.h%26gt;?


- return main(); - What is this supposed to be? An attempt at a recursive function? You never call main. It is a special function, defined as an entry point. If you want a loop, use a while loop, set to a condition of true.
