saving, writing, and opening files

[denisfinn]

i'm not sure if i'm way over my head but....

could someone tell me what is needed to be able to create files from a c++ program....

for example: write a program that takes input and then can save to file.txt

i don't think this should be too hard to do....

also i'd love to be able to open and write files that already exist with this program.

hopefully this won't be impossible

thanks

Its not too bad. Just include <fstream> and use an ifstream object to read from a file and an ofstream object to output to a file. If you know how to output and input using cout and cin, then a file stream follows basically the same syntax. Look up file streams in your C++ book.
