How to read out an textfile and put the items in a textfield in c++?

Thx,

I don't know about the second part, but to write to a text file...

#include <fstream.h>

int main()
{
    ofstream out("myfile.txt");
    out << "test" << endl;
    out << "another line";
    // close the file here, but I forgot how
    return 0;
}

Note that this (I think) only works in C++, not C.

use "out.Close" to close the file.

Call me crazy, but wasn't the question about inputting from a file?

I'm thinking he meant "out of" a text file.

[filburt1]

"read out" is an oxymoron, so I just latched on the "out" part.

Read some tutorials on http://www.planetsourcecode.com on working with the files

or if you are working with a windows app, look here

I do not wanna create a file or write something into it. Just want to open the EXISTING Textfile located in the Project Directory, read it Line by Line and show the contents of them 4 Example in a Listbox or in a Textbox or what ever, and then close them cleanly, so as I would do in RPGIV or VB.

Thx,

you dont have to actually call .close() because the destructer will do it automatikly.

I think I remember reading somewhere that you should always explicitly close file streams instead of relying on them just going out of scope...

It simplifies everything when you read the code again - you know exactly WHERE the code thinks the file is closed, rather than having to look for the end of the stream's current scope.

ahhh.. that reminds me of my computer and his wretched KIS principle. (Keep it Simple) it is good though. i have gone back to code i wrote a year ago, with tons of shortcuts, and not comments, and i have no idea what it does!!
