    I am making my first program and am having a little bit of trouble. I want to have the program create files that have a file name that is the same as an input, but an error always occurs when i try. Here is my code so far:
    Code:
    #include <iostream>
    #include <fstream>
    #include <string>
    #include <sstream>
    
    using namespace std;
    int main () {
        
        string fname, lname, number, hits, n,;
        cout << "Enter first and last name ";
        cin >> fname;
        cin >> lname;
        cout << "Enter number ";
        cin >> number;
        cout << "Enter Hits ";
        cin >> hits;
        cout << lname;
      ofstream myfile (lname.txt_str());
      if (myfile.is_open())
      {
        myfile << "Name                     Number                          Hits.\n";
        myfile << " ";
        myfile << ""<<lname<< ", " <<fname<<  "                  " <<number<< "                   " <<hits<< "\n";
        myfile << ""<<n<<".\n";
        myfile.close();
      }
      
      else cout << "Unable to open file";
      cin >> n;
      
      return 0;
    }

    There are couple of errors.
    1. The error is at
    string fname, lname, number, hits, n,;
    replace with
    string fname, lname, number, hits, n;
    Note the last "," before the semicolon

    2. Replace
    ofstream myfile (lname.txt_str());
    With
    ofstream myfile (lname.c_str());

    Thanks
