How to read a text file with C++?
This is a C++ program to read a text file.
Input
tpoint.txt is having initial content as
“Tutorials point.”
Output
Tutorials point.
Algorithm
Begin
Create an object newfile against the class fstream.
Call open() method to open a file “tpoint.txt” to perform write operation using object newfile.
If file is open then
Input a string “Tutorials point" in the tpoint.txt file.
Close the file object newfile using close() method.
Call open() method to open a file “tpoint.txt” to perform read operation using object newfile.
If file is open then
Declare a string “tp”.
Read all data of file object newfile using getline() method and put it into the string tp.
Print the data of string tp.
Close the file object newfile using close() method.
End.
Example
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
int main(){
fstream newfile;
newfile.open("tpoint.txt",ios::out); // open a file to perform write operation using file object
if(newfile.is_open()) //checking whether the file is open {
newfile<<"Tutorials point \n"; //inserting text
newfile.close(); //close the file object
}
newfile.open("tpoint.txt",ios::in); //open a file to perform read operation using file object
if (newfile.is_open()){ //checking whether the file is open
string tp;
while(getline(newfile, tp)){ //read data from file object and put it into string.
cout << tp << "\n"; //print the data of the string
}
newfile.close(); //close the file object.
}
}Output
Tutorials point
