Question

When saving something to a text file is there a way to not override whats in the file already?

EX.

blah.txt

this is an example

fout << "of saving to a file.";

i want the “of saving to a file” to be added on to “this is an example” not to override it.

Answer 1

use the append flag, like this:

fstream fout("blah.txt", ios::app);

if you are opening it after declaration, use something like this:

fout.open("blash.txt", fstream::app);
