Hi. I have a c++ game where you make money throughout the game, and the game saves it to a separate txt file. When the game opens back up, it grabs the info in that txt file and puts it into a variable.
Thats not the problem though. I'm adding another feature where info needs to be saved on the second line of that file. Is there any way I can make the program just read a certain line of a file and get info from that?
Many thanks.

So what should I use?
You may read data from anyone line in the file.
But it's not working for writing. If your file is empty, y can write from begin to end. And if your file is not empty, y can add data in the end of file.
