reading a file from .txt

[casescs]

Just wanna ask how to read a file from a .txt in this case you encode the list(employee name, employee number, tax ) directly to notepad. I only know how to read a file when you input it in dev c++ program. Thanks for the answer

is the file written using objects or just data is present in it?
it depends...
