I'm totally new to C++. I was messing around with reading and
writing text from a text file. I read and displayed the string, "My
Name is: ".
Then prompt for a name, append the file, then re-open and re-read
the file with the appended text. Everthing works but the re-reading
of the file. When I step through the code, it appears that when I
try to re-read the file, it is already at the end of the file.
Here's the
code...
#include <fstream>
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
ifstream input;
ofstream output;
string text;
string name;
input.open("c:\\test.txt");
while (!input.eof())
{
getline (input, text);
}
input.close();
cout << text << endl;
system("PAUSE");
cout << "Enter Name" << endl;
cin >> name;
output.open("c:\\test.txt", ios::app);
output << name;
output.close();
input.open("c:\\test.txt");
while (!input.eof())
{
getline (input, text);
}
input.close();
cout << text << endl;
system("PAUSE");
return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}
