I presume you're working on Windows. The problem is probably that you need to escape the backslashes:
out_stream5.open("C:\\path\\showitems.txt", ios::out);

Yes, thats my guess also, because `\p` is not a valid escape sequence.

heh things can get funnier when you have a directory that starts with 0 (zero).

and using the specific file path to open the file wont open the file correctly

@user320950 I'm not sure I follow you. Did you try entering the complete correct path with all backslashes escaped?

yeah i did it correctly i think i posted my most recent codePrograms won’t write to a file, and I do not know if it is reading itand i think this is the thing that is stopping my files from reading and writing

Are you on Windows? That path doesn't look like a valid Windows path. Also, can you please post more code for context?

this sounds like it has nothing to do with the original problem. it sounds like visual studio has issues running some executable. a bit of googling suggests that maybe if you AVG antivirus that placed that file "in the vault" because it thought it was a virus. try to play with that, see if you can restore the file back in place.
