c++ output to file code example

Example 1: read a file c++

// reading a text file
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;

int main () {
  string line;
  ifstream myfile ("example.txt");
  if (myfile.is_open())
  {
    while ( getline (myfile,line) )
    {
      //use line here
    }
    myfile.close();
  }

  else cout << "Unable to open file"; 

  return 0;
}

Example 2: c++ output file

// reading a text file
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;

int main () {
  string line;
  ifstream myfile ("example.txt");
  if (myfile.is_open())
  {
    while ( getline (myfile,line) )
    {
      cout << line << '\n';
    }
    myfile.close();
  }

  else cout << "Unable to open file"; 

  return 0;
}

Example 3: write in file cpp

#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
using namespace std;
int main() {
	fstream my_file;
	my_file.open("my_file.txt", ios::out);
	if (!my_file) {
		cout << "File not created!";
	}
	else {
		cout << "File created successfully!";
		my_file << "Guru99";
		my_file.close();
	}
	return 0;
}

Example 4: how to output to a file in c++

// basic file operations
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
using namespace std;

int main () {
  ofstream myfile;
  myfile.open ("example.txt");
  myfile << "Writing this to a file.\n";
  myfile.close();
  return 0;
}

Example 5: write to file in C++

ofstream myfile;
myfile.open("file.txt");

myfile << "write this to file"
