Read a Text File

[c++ newone]

If this has been asked and answered don't yell. I couldn't find it.

I'm new to c++ and I'm trying to convert a ASP script to work in c++. The script reads a text file and searches for a word. If the word exist then it displays a code if the word doesn't exists it displays an error messages. The only problem with it is that it can't be automated. I was wondering if this can be done using C++ and be fully automated and run in the background without being visible to the user?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Theoretically, everything you seek is possible with C/C++. It is not likely to be beginner level stuff. But since it is something available in Windows and Windows is written in C/C++ then you _could_ write it yourself, in theory.
