Hello again. I had a question about input and output on .txt files. Could you show me some code (VC++) demonstrating how to read and output in an .exe from a .txt file. And also, how to write to a .txt from an .exe. Both reading and writing to and from a .txt file I should say using a Win32 Console App. Thanks in advance. Also, can and how do you do the exact same thing with a Win32 app? Both would be nice. Thanks a lot! I am not worthy of a sig!

Hi,

    #include "fstream.h"void main(){  ifstream filein( "readme.txt" );  int somenumber;  filein >> somenumber;  filein.close();}    

Will open a text file called readme.txt, and read in an integer from it. If you wanted to read in strings, you need to make a character array big enough to hold the string being read in, and do a similar thing.

If you dont know how long the string is, then assuming your character array is 1024 bytes in size, you can go:

char MyArr[1024];

filein.getline( MyArr,1024 );

This is from memory - im not too sure about the above.

Writing to a text file is just like using cout.

    ofstream myfile("file.txt",ios::out);myfile << "This will be written to the file" << endl;

ofstream fout("outfile.txt");
ifstream fin("infile.txt");

void readafile()
{
char buffer[255];
fin>> buffer;
fin.close();
}

void writefile()
{
char buffer2[10] = {''1'',''1'',''1'',''1'',''1'',''1'',''1'',''1'',''1'',''1''};
fout<< buffer;
fout.close();
}
