can fout write on a *.bat file?

if no, can c++ change one file's extention from *.txt to *.bat??

The file can be named whatever you like.

do you mean that i can use the command:

Code:

---

ofstream fout("testing.bat")

---

instead of

Code:

---

ofstream fout("testing.txt")

---

??

Yeah, but why don't you just try it instead of asking?

i have tried that indeed but i am using visual C++.net in my office, i dun know why it do not support <iostream.h>....i will try that at home with c++ 6.0

thank you for your help anyway

Because it should be <iostream> - no .h - that is the old, depricated style.

i.e.

Code:

---

#include <iostream>

int main(void)
{
    std::cout << "this way is more correct" << std::endl;
    return 0;
}

You should really be doing it this way in VC++ 6.0 anyway, as it supports this method of including the iostream header, as per the standard.

or the smarter method...

Code:

---

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main(void)
{
    cout << "bling!¿" << endl;
    return 0;
}
