how to create file in the running program

[skyboy5122]

Hi,

I am currently working on C programming language but I have encounter some doubt on it and wish to seek for someone who can help me solve my problem.

I would like to know how can I create a file to save all my execution information that display on my monitor when I run my program.

You can write to a file instead of your screen.

#include<iostream>
#include <fstream> //for ofstream

using namespace std;

int main()
{
	ofstream myOutputFile("C:\\TestData\\output.txt");
	
	for(int i=0; i<10; i++)
	{
		myOutputFile<<i<<"\n";
	}

	return 0;
}

or, do both:

#include<iostream>
#include <fstream> //for ofstream

using namespace std;

int main()
{
	ofstream myOutputFile("C:\\TestData\\output.txt");
	
	for(int i=0; i<10; i++)
	{
		myOutputFile<<i<<"\n"; //output to file
		cout<<i<<"\n";  //output to screen
	}

	return 0;
}

Create a file:

std::ofstream File("Output.txt");

And for each std::cout you use, call a corresponding:

std::cout << xxx;

--->

File << xxx;

Another way is to start your program from the command line and append > filename.txt
