Got another one...

I am now trying to write some code that reads and writes to files in a loop.

#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
    ifstream inFile;
    ofstream outFile;

    inFile.open("temp.dat");
    .
    .
    //Grab strings
    inFile.close();

    outFile.open("results.dat");
    .
    .
    //Write strings
    outFile.close();

    return 0;
}

I want this to work in a loop, but the reading marker for the inFile doesn't reset itself (go back up to the beginning of the file). Can anyone help me?

infile.seekg (0, ios::beg);

will move your file pointer to the beginning of hte file.. but i dont' really know what you want to do! plz explain in english and also show how you are reading from the file..

The program takes info and stores it in a temp.dat file.

Information from a info.dat file determines what it reads.
Here is an example of this :

str0 str1 str2 str3 str4 //Row1
str5 str6 str7 str8 str9 //Row2

The strings in row1 determine what the program writes in temp.dat. After it is finished with the 1st row, I want it to loop and do the same thing with the 2nd row. This means writing over the stuff in temp.dat.

I thought that reseting the reading marker in temp.dat would fix the problem. How can I do this?
