#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <conio.h>

int main()
{
    FILE *infile, *outfile;
    char *ename, *cpass, *epass;

    clrscr();
    printf("Enter character's name:\n");
    gets(ename);

    infile = fopen(strcat("players/", ename), "r");
    if (!infile)
    {
        printf("New player!\n");
        printf("Enter password:\n");
        gets(epass);
        outfile = fopen(strcat("players/", ename), "w");
        fputs(epass, outfile);
        fclose(outfile);
        printf("Welcome!\n");
    }

I wanted the code to create a file with the same
filename as the player's name (in the players subdir),
and in it I wanted the player's password.
This is the output I get (the player "foobar" doesn't
exist):

Enter character's name:
foobar
oobarEnter password:
blah
Welcome!


A file is created in the players/ dir
called "foobarfoobar" with the correct password
in it, and you see the "oobar" has replaced
the "New player!" line that I wanted in.  What
did I do wrong?
Thanks alot.
