Hi there, I have a question about a really simple program. The code below doesn't work, the compiler comes back with "fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'ofstream': No such file or directory":
#include <iostream>
#include <ofstream>
using namespace std ;
int main( )
{
ofstream myfile("newfile.txt") ;
myfile << "This file contains this sentence.\n" ;
myfile.close() ;
}
if I instead replace
#include <ofstream>
with
#include <fstream>
it's all good.
I thought that if I want to create a file and input some data in it ofstream was enough, or if I wanted to read from a file I had to use ifstream. fstream, I thought, needs to be used only if I want to read and write...
Any suggestion? thanks
