how can i work with paragraph ?

[joe55555]

hello
i have a small program consisting on getting a paragraph from a user
storing this paragraph in a text or word file if possible.
than to read back the paragraph from the text or word file.

1:
is it possible that a user write a long paragraph of about 2 or 3 pages in data type "string"? or is there any other data type to use ?

2:
how can i get the paragraph entered by the user and to store it in a text or word file?

3:
how can i read the paragraph from the text or word file the we created?

Thank you

to 1) i dont know but i would use an array of strings to hold each line or a vector of strings

2-3) both are in the fstream header

Thank you, i will check the links you told me about and let you know if it will work :)

I would go with vector<string>vec to store each line, then you will neeed to include fstream to write what you store to a file. Just like DTS code said

You don't need a vector. Strings can hold newline characters without any issues.

[Dy7SLyTq]

yes they can, but it makes it easier with vectors.

That's only true if the OP has any requirement to access or modify a single line, independently from the rest of the paragraph.

Nothing in the OP's post indicates that this might be the case.
