Question

Can any body help me with this simple thing in file handling?

The following is my code:

#include<iostream>
#include<fstream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
  ofstream savefile("anish.txt");
  savefile<<"hi this is first program i writer" <<"\n this is an experiment";
  savefile.close();
  return 0 ;
}

It is running successfully now, I want to format the output of the text file according to my way.

I have:

hi this is first program i writer this is an experiment

How can I make my output file look like the following:

hi this is first program 
I writer this is an experiment 

What should I do to format the output in that way?

Answer 1

First, you need to open the stream to write to a file:

ofstream file; // out file stream
file.open("anish.txt");

After that, you can write to the file using the << operator:

file << "hi this is first program i writer";

Also, use std::endl instead of \n:

file << "hi this is first program i writer" << endl << "this is an experiment";
