Creating a text document.

KevinnTCG (17)
How would i take all the data from my c++ application and put it into a log file?

or make a text document for it =D

You will need to give much more information in order to get a less generic solution.

int main(){
	FILE* file=fopen("log.txt","a");
	//use functions like fwrite, fputc, fputs, etc.
	fclose(file);
	return 0;}

into a text document =P
the console output part, not the actual code.

Maybe you could make a class that combines iostream with fstream:

1
2
3
4
5

11
12
13

#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>

using namespace std;

class io{
	private:
		fstream file;
	public:
		io(const char* fname){
			open(fname);}
		~io(){
			if(file.is_open()){
				file.close();}}
		void open(const char* fname){
			file.open(fname,fstream::app);}
		void close(){
			file.close();}
		template<typename T>
		io& operator<<(T& value){
			if(file.is_open()){
				file<<value;}
			cout<<value;
			return *this;}
		template<typename T>
		io& operator>>(T& value){
			cin>>value;
			return *this;}};

Just use the io class to input/output anything you need.
KevinnTCG (17)
PiMaster where would it save the txt file to?
PiMaster (359)
Whatever file name you give it. For instance:

1
2
3
4
5
6
 
int main(){
	io rpgio;
	rpgio.open("log.txt");
	//use input/output
	return 0;}

In the above case, everything would be appended to "log.txt"
KevinnTCG (17)
Sorry for all the hassle from this i literally watch youtube tutorials to learn this until i go to college for it -_-

So im putting the int main() part on the bottom of my code or on top?

just need a small example of how...i dont want you to do everything for me or i wont learn anything =(

Writing to a file is similar in syntax to using cout, only your output is a file. At this point you might want to skip over understanding PiMaster's operator overloads dealing with templates and just use the class for what it is. He's posted a usage example two posts up.

int main(){
        int someInt = 0;
	io rpgio;
	rpgio.open("log.txt");
	//use input/output
        rpgio << "someInt: " << someInt << '\n'; //<-- i/o example - almost like cout :)
	return 0;}

Says no default constructor exists for rpgio, also i have no idea what a constructor is, as i said im like bad at c++ atm =D
closed account (3hM2Nwbp)
The constructor takes a const char* as an argument, so...
 
 
io rpgio("somename.txt");
KevinnTCG (17)
Its creating the text document but its not writing anything in it, am i doing something wrong?

You're opening "sometext.txt" in rpgio's constructor, and "log.txt" with io::open... Why would you do that? Just say io rpgio("log.txt") Opening it twice probably has some strange side affects.
KevinnTCG (17)
I tried it with log.txt and it had the same problem so i tried naming it something different.

UPDATE: nah it doesnt work with log.txt as the io rpgio.
