Programs won't write to a file, and I do not know if it is reading it
- by user320950
This program is supposed to read files and write them. I took the file open checks out because they kept causing errors. The problem is that the files open like they are supposed to and the names are correct but nothing is on any of the text screens. Do you know what is wrong?

ifstream in_stream4;// read recipt.txt
ofstream out_stream5;// write display.txt

int itemnum=' ', wrong=0;
