How do you open a file in C++?

Question

I want to open a file for reading, the C++ way. I need to be able to do it for:

• text files, which would involve some sort of read line function.

Answer 1

Follow the steps,

1. Include Header files or name space to access File class.
2. Make File class object Depending on your IDE platform ( i.e, CFile,QFile,fstream).
3. Now you can easily find that class methods to open/read/close/getline or else of any file.

CFile/QFile/ifstream m_file;
m_file.Open(path,Other parameter/mood to open file);

For reading file you have to make buffer or string to save data and you can pass that variable in read() method.
