    basic question

    i am attempting to write my first program and have been reading for about 1 month now for some preliminary foundation however, i have not read anywhere how to save the input from my program and save it as a .cfg to a user defined location. i can set my locations i believe but i have not learned how to save the input and how to define the type of file it saves as.
    im sorry if this is a repeat thread, i have't seen one similar yet.

    Read up on the <fstream> library. That allows you to open files for input or output.
