Is there any way to keep a stream (to read or write in a file) open from a function to another in C++?
Yes, you can either create the stream outside of the functions and pass it as a parameter to the methods:
void myFunction(ifstream &stream) {...}Later close the stream when you are done with it:
stream.close().Or create the stream within the first function and return it to the calling method and then pass it to the second function.
