Try this link, it's a pretty good explanation of File I/O.

I read the about tutorial but is there a way to open a file without the using namespace std; declaration?
example:
generates a whole slew of errors.
example:
#include<iostream>
#include<fstream>
int main()
{
std::fstream myFile("animals.txt",ios::app);
if (! myFile) // Always test file open
{
std::cout << "Error opening output file\n";
return -1;
}
myFile << "Hello, World!\n";
myFile.close();
return 0;generates a whole slew of errors.

I'm sure you could.
However:
using namespace std gives you access to the C++ standard library.
According to this book(C++: The complete reference) in my lap, the namespace is a declaritive region (whatever that means) that localizes the names of identifiers to prevent collisions (read, confusion).
It allows you to use the appropriate header files is the jist of it. Without the namespace std, you have to switch back to the following:
#include<iostream.h>
#include<fstream.h>
to get the correct results...
Maybe. It might not be that simple. Anyone else know with more certainty?
For most applications, you probably won't need to deviate from the std namespace anyway.

What's your compiler?
What are the errors? (As in, please post them.)

on VC++ 6, Running that code gives me two errors...
'ios' is not a class or namespace name
'app' is an undeclared identifier.
Try this:
ios is part of the std namespace, so you were trying to reference something that didn't exist to your compiler.
'ios' is not a class or namespace name
'app' is an undeclared identifier.
Try this:
std::fstream myFile("animals.txt",std::ios::app); |
