Q's on File Processing

[cplusx2]

Let say i have many names in a txt file together with their scores respectively. How do I write those inputs in a new empty txt? I was thinking on using array but what if we don't know what the size of the array is? Or perhaps using eof? Please help

You do it using std::string, they can hold strings of arbitrary length.

No, i mean like let say i have these following names and scores:
John 3000
Malik 2000
Sarah 4030

How do i write these names and scores on a new txt file? ofstream?

Use a vector containing structs?

struct scores
{
    string name;
    int score;
};

    // create a struct
    scores scoreStruct;

    // then create a vector to contain the struct
    vector< scores > scoreVector;

    // add to the struct - you'll need a loop of some sort, read from file etc.
    scoreStruct.name = "Dave";
    scoreStruct.score = 1000;

    // add to the vector
    scoreVector.push_back( scoreStruct );
