problem with <fstream>

Carradine · 2003-04-18T18:26:52

This sounds simple but this problem completely baffles me. All I am trying to do is open a file for output. If I do something simple like this ofstream GenInfoOut; GenInfoOut.open(fName,ios::binary); It will open a "new" file (it will erase the current file located there, and set it back to a size of 0). I want to open a file for output so I can rewrite data back into the file. This whole situation works perfectly with "fstream.h", but not . I cannot figure out this simple problem. Any help would be appreciated. Carradine

Ah thank you, I was calling it before I closed instead of after. This fixed my recent problem. So overall I have my program converted from "fstream.h" to fstream, but I still have question the stability of my code, and the true power of fstream. It may be due to my lack of knowedge of fstream, but I would assume it would have been easier to convert over.

Again thanks for all of your help today everyone!
