The n00b is back...help with outpout to file...

[HardHackz]

Hey, I'm having a little problem editing a file. Whenever I put
something into it, it erases the old thing, is there a way to fix this
so it doesn't erase the last thing?

Sorry for double post, but does anyone have any good C++ tutorials
besides the one at cplusplus.com?

No, like this:

// 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;
}

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

Look up the use of the second parameter of open, the mode flag. It
defaults to truncating the file.

Next time, *Please trim the signature* that's the bit after the "-- ".
If you use a news reader, it should do this by default.

hey you might have given this thing:
fopen("somefile name","w");
instead of w write "a" which means appending
in this way you wont lose the previous data...

He's using Google Groups, and that's not one of their features.

People got bent out of shape last time I said that, so I refrained from
commentary.

Well, I added a winking smiley, so that should make it clearer that I
was kidding... but not really :)

this is pertinent. I only could get back to usenet because of
googlegroups. I am sure there is a similar case for many good people
from here

many news servers disappeared or become paid :(

google sucks, but works (mostly)
