Thread: Weird error message

Well its me again.

I am trying to grasp the concept of reading and writing to files and was a bit confused on what the book was doing. So I decided to copy the example to see what was happening and I cant get the code to run. This is straight from the book and I get this error

fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'stdlib': No such file or directory

ok so I changed it to <cstdlib> and I get the "error C2065: 'nocreate' : undeclared identifier"

Is the book out dated?

Code:

#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <iomanip>
#include <stdlib>    

using namespace std;

int main()
{
	const int MAXLENGTH = 21; //maximum file name length
	const int MAXCHARS = 80; //maximum line length
	char file1[MAXLENGTH] = "input.txt";
	char line[MAXCHARS];
	int ch;
	ifstream inFile;  //ifstream constructor opens the file

	inFile.open (file1, ios::nocreate);

	if (inFile.fail()) //checks for a successful open
		{
			cout << "\nThe file was not successfully opened"
				 << "\n Please check that the file currently exists."
				 << endl;
			exit (1);
		}

	cout << endl;

	while( (ch = inFile.peek()) != EOF )
		{
			inFile.getline(line, MAXCHARS, '\n');
			cout << line << endl;
		}
		
	inFile.close();
	cout << endl;

	return 0;

}
