Good day guys.
Im just new in c++. I just want a little help/guide/sample code or steps on how to get files from a certain txt files(notepad) and display it on screen. Vice Versa.
Thank you for giving time.
God bless.

Depends on the file's contents. As a general rule of thumb, just open the file as a normal text file and read its contents one line at a time. Beyond that, you will have to tell us what's in the file.
The text file has 5 lines of text data(ex. name of employee). I want to pull that text data and display it on c++ screen.
A matter of correction. i am using visual c++ 6.0.
Thank you for giving time.
Here is one way of reading from a text file and displaying the contents:
string sentence;
string readSentence;
//open file to read
ifstream inData;
inData.open("YourFileName.txt");
//read first line from the file
getline(inData, readSentence);
//show error if file not found
if(!inData){
cout<< "Can't open input file.\n";
getchar();
}
//while there are more lines to read from file
while(inData){
sentence = readSentence;
//write data to screen
cout << sentence << endl;
//read another line
getline(inData, readSentence);
}
//close file
inData.close();
