Creating a file

b100 (3)
Hello,

I want to write a visual C++ program to create a script file for Autocad. A script file has the extension .scr

The goal is, to create the file, write information in it and close the file and save it at a specific location. How can I create the file? I have tried the CreateFile function but I can not make it work. I use the Visual C++ express version as a IDE.

The question that I have is: how does the function look like?
Which header files should I use and where should I put the include statement?

Could someone help me? I have tried many examples on the internet.
