Im trying to learn how to manage .txt files. I decided to write a little encryption program.

Heres my code:



When i open the file encrypted.txt i see that its empty. Why is that? Its not that the string is empty because as you can see i print it on screen and i see the encrypted string there.

Thanks in advance

remove the make file, you don`t need to make a file when you open to write, all you have done is made a file that is empty, the open to write should fail and give an error message (file exists at line xxx), make file is used to make blank files that you can use as flags to show the software the current status, (thats the only use I found for them), for example, to NOT show the lengthy intro animation the next time your code is run, just make a file called "played" when you play the intro, before you do play the intro though, check if the file "played" exists, if it does then don`t play the intro again, if it doesn`t then the user deleted it or this is the first time the code has been run, so play the intro, cheers.
