stdlib.h for Dashboard Program

[Ian W.]

So yeah, SBPLI is tomorrow, still ironing the bugs out of that Dashboard I have .

I think it's working perfectly, except for one tiny error. After a seemingly random (although rather precise) number of loops, fopen just doesn't work.

I have a line like this...

data = fopen("data.txt","w");

It's supposed to open a string to a file, works great, most of the time. After a certain number of loops though, it stops working, until I restart my program. This takes no more than 30 seconds to pop up, unacceptable for a Dashboard (5 minutes would be, but less than two minutes, no).

So, my question is, what other way (besides fstream) is there to output to a file? I need something that's rather generic and easy to implement, but at the moment, I'm open to any suggestions just so this thing will work. I'll even try using fstream again, but that took so long to convert everything from fstream to stdlib.h...

Speedy answers make me happy, cause I don't want to be up all night working on this :-p.
