Write Text To File

Question

When I was trying to write text to a file in C++, nothing ever appeared in the area. I don't know if it was because I was using my own file extension, but when I do that in C#, it works.

I was using the code:

using namespace System::IO;

File::WriteAllText("C:/mypath/myfolder/mydocument.cra");

Is there anything I should be doing?

shouldn't WriteAllText take some parameter that's the stuff to write? — rogerdpack, Oct 04 '13 at 17:39

In C++, you can use fstream,

#include <fstream>

std::fstream fs;
fs.open ("test.txt", std::fstream::out );

fs << " some input";

fs.close();

The WriteAllText method takes a second parameter, the text to write to the file.

File::WriteAllText("C:\\mypath\\myfolder\\mydocument.txt", "Hello from C++/CLI!");

This API will replace the entire contents of the file with whatever you specify, so you'll have to build up the entire contents in memory before you write it.
