How to read and write to a text file in C++?

Question

Hey everyone, I have just started to learn C++ and I wanted to know how to read and write to a text file. I have seen many examples but they have all been hard to understand

Answer 1

To read you should create an instance of ifsteam and not ofstream.

ifstream iusrfile;

You should open the file in read mode.

iusrfile.open("usrfile.txt", ifstream::in);

Also this statement is not correct.

cout<

If you are trying to print the data you read from the file you should do:

cout<
