read from a file c++ 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: how to read and write in a file c++

#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
using namespace std;

ifstream file_variable; //ifstream is for input from plain text files
file_variable.open("input.txt"); //open input.txt

file_variable.close(); //close the file stream
/*
Manually closing a stream is only necessary
if you want to re-use the same stream variable for a different
file, or want to switch from input to output on the same file.
*/
_____________________________________________________
//You can also use cin if you have tables like so:
while (cin >> name >> value)// you can also use the file stream instead of this
{
 cout << name << value << endl;
}
_____________________________________________________
//ifstream file_variable; //ifstream is for input from plain text files
ofstream out_file;
out_file.open("output.txt");

out_file << "Write this scentence in the file" << endl;

Example 3: How to read a file in in C++

// io/read-file-sum.cpp - Read integers from file and print sum.
// Fred Swartz 2003-08-20

#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
#include <fstream>
using namespace std;

int main() {
    int sum = 0;
    int x;
    ifstream inFile;
    
    inFile.open("test.txt");
    if (!inFile) {
        cout << "Unable to open file";
        exit(1); // terminate with error
    }
    
    while (inFile >> x) {
        sum = sum + x;
    }
    
    inFile.close();
    cout << "Sum = " << sum << endl; 
    return 0;
}

Example 4: read text from file c++

#include<iostream>
#include<fstream>

using namespace std;

int main() {

 ifstream myReadFile;
 myReadFile.open("text.txt");
 char output[100];
 if (myReadFile.is_open()) {
 while (!myReadFile.eof()) {


    myReadFile >> output;
    cout<<output;


 }
}
myReadFile.close();
return 0;
}

Example 5: create file c++

// using ofstream constructors.
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>  

std::ofstream outfile ("test.txt");

outfile << "my text here!" << std::endl;

outfile.close();

Example 6: file reading c++

int a, b;
    
ifstream bd; 
myfile.open("file.txt");

if (myfile.is_open())
	while (bd >> a >> b)
    	cout << a << b << endl;

else cout << "ERROR";
