Answer 1

http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/fstream/fstream/open/

at here there is an example also.

// fstream::open / fstream::close
#include <fstream>      // std::fstream

int main () {

  std::fstream fs;
  fs.open ("test.txt", std::fstream::in | std::fstream::out | std::fstream::app);

  fs << " more lorem ipsum";

  fs.close();

  return 0;
}

Answer 2

You have to open the file stream in append mode:

std::ofstream out("Info.txt", std::ios_base::app);
//                            ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
