C++ File Streams

File streams in C++ are basically the libraries that are used in the due course of programming. The programmers generally use the iostream standard library in the C++ programming as it provides the cin and cout methods that are used for reading from the input and writing to the output respectively.

In order to read and write from a file, the programmers are generally using the standard C++ library that is known as the fstream.
Here is the list of the data types that are defined in the fstream library:

Data Type	Description
fstream	This data types is generally used to create files, write information to files, and read information from files.
ifstream	This data types is generally used to read information from files.
ofstream	This data types is generally used to create files and write information to the files.

Example 1(Writing content to a file)

#include <iostream>  
#include <fstream>  
using namespace std;  
int main () 
{  
  ofstream filestream("test.txt");  
  if (filestream.is_open())  	
  {  
    filestream << "Welcome to the world of C++ Tutorial.\n";  
    filestream << "Hello user.\n";  
    filestream.close();  
  }  
  else
  {
  cout <<"No Such File created.";  
  }
  return 0;  
}

Output :This program create a test.txt write the info inside the file
Welcome to the world of C++ Tutorial.
Hello user.

Example 2(Reading Content from a file)

#include <iostream>  
#include <fstream>  
using namespace std;  
int main () 
{  
  string srg;  
  ifstream filestream("test.txt");  
  if (filestream.is_open())  
  {  
    while ( getline (filestream,srg) )  
    {  
      cout << srg <<endl;  
    }  
    filestream.close();  
  }  
  else 
  {  
      cout << "No such file found."<<endl;   
    }  
  return 0;  
}

Output :
Welcome to the world of C++ Tutorial.
Hello user.
