Fstream fails to create new file

Question

I\'m using a FileManager for a project so that reading and writing is less of a hassle for me. Or would be, if I didn\'t spend all this time debugging it. So, this comfort-c

Answer 1

Just get your function to open

void FileManager::open(std::string const& filename)
{
    using std::ios_base;
    if(stream_.is_open())
        stream_.close();

    stream_.open(filename.c_str(), ios_base::in | ios_base::out | ios_base::trunc);
}

if that is the mode you require.

There is no magic way to open a file for read/write creating it if it does not exist but not truncating it (removing its content) if it does. You have to do that in multiple steps.
