C++ file-redirection

Question

For faster input, I read that you can do file-redirection and include a file with the cin inputs already set.

In theory it should be used l

Answer 1

In addition to original redirection >/ >> and <

You can redirect std::cin and std::cout too.

Like following:

int main()
{
    // Save original std::cin, std::cout
    std::streambuf *coutbuf = std::cout.rdbuf();
    std::streambuf *cinbuf = std::cin.rdbuf(); 

    std::ofstream out("outfile.txt");
    std::ifstream in("infile.txt");

    //Read from infile.txt using std::cin
    std::cin.rdbuf(in.rdbuf());

    //Write to outfile.txt through std::cout 
    std::cout.rdbuf(out.rdbuf());   

    std::string test;
    std::cin >> test;           //from infile.txt
    std::cout << test << "  "; //to outfile.txt

    //Restore back.
    std::cin.rdbuf(cinbuf);   
    std::cout.rdbuf(coutbuf); 

}
