writing to file

[sukabanjot]

I am very new and just need code to prompt the user for information and to write that information to a file such as file.doc.

Hi,

I'm new to, but this seems like a good place to start:

For a simple text file:

#include <iostream.h>
#include <string>
#include <fstream>
using namespace std;

int main() {
  string stringVar;                       // here's your input variable
  getline(cin, stringVar, '\n');          // here's how to get some input
  ofstream ofile("C:\\FILE.DOC");         // this opens your file
  if (ofile) ofile << stringVar << endl;  // this writes your input variable to file
  ofile.close();                          // this closes your file
}

That's just a basic example of how you can write to a file.
