file not appending












-1














I am making a project on cafe in which I need to append user file to enter different items in the file for example drinks he want to buy.So the user enters 1 2 3 4 input and the item from the list in file named drinks copied and paste into his file.



But the problem is file takes in one first item and then stops taking more items. Here is the code
`



#include<iostream>
#include<fstream>
#include<string>
using namespace std;

int main()
{ ofstream f;
string filename;
cout << "Please enter a file name to write: ";
getline( cin, filename );
ofstream outFile(filename.c_str(),ios::app);
string line;
ifstream inFile("Drinks.txt");
int count,c;
cout<<"Choice number of drinksn";
cin>>c;
for (int i=0;i<c;i++)
{
cout<<"Enter number of drinksn";
cin>>count;
while(getline(inFile, line))
{
if (--count == 0)
{
outFile << line <<endl;
break;
}
}
}

outFile.close();
inFile.close();
}


`
