Question

ofstream outfile(\"myfile.txt\", ofstream::binary);
std::string text = \"Text\";
outfi         


        

Answer 1

• Why are you using pointers to std::string class?
• You should not use sizeof with std::string, as it returns the size of the std::string object, and not the real size of the string inside.

You should try:

string text = "Text";
outfile.write(text.c_str(), text.size());

or

outfile << text;
