FStream.... myFile.flush() won't work
Author
I assume the flush() command in FStream clears the file of any data.
If not how do i do that.
But if so:
fstream fFile;
fFile.open (filename, fstream::in | fstream::out | fstream::app);
fFile.flush();
fFile.close();
but it seems to do nothing to the file
Thanks

Flush is not used to empty out a file. If you want the file to be emptied out, you need to do that with the flags.

That article has old info (even though it was submitted in 2000, tsk tsk). It uses <fstream.h> and <iostream.h>. Those contain some things non-existent in the current <fstream> and <iostream> headers. Such as ios::noreplace and ios::nocreate.
