text file from Visual Studio 2008

[elabelle]

Is there a way to create a text file from within visual studio 2008 for use as an input file? Or do I have to use something else like notepad?

Thanks, Beth

Right click on the project in solution explorer, select 'add' from the context menu...

Sorry for the long delay, there - hope you're still w/ me...

Ok, when I do that I get a dialog box with a lot of different types of files I can add, but none says text file, data file, input file, or anything else. What do I choose?

Select a file that is normally just plain text (e.g. .cpp) and save it with any other extension.

This topic is quite removed from C++ programming.
