Question regarding opening files

[thefeedinghand]

I'm trying to open a file to overwrite data on it but I'm getting some errors, here's my code

        ifstream file("asdf.txt"); 
	fstream file2("qwerty.txt", fstream::trunc); 

	if(!file)
		cout << "File not found";
	if(!file2)
		cout << "File not found";

I was using the mode app, and it worked just fine, but I wanna overwrite on the file so I tried using trunc mode and I keep getting File(2) not found, help?

EDIT: I found out that I can overwrite by not adding a second parameter, but I would still like to know why trunc is not working

Just using the out mode should truncate the file if it exists, and create it if it doesn't (I'm pretty sure)

ios::trunc has always worked for me. Besides, I believe if you don't specify a mode, it just creates the file anyway.

try dat..

     ifstream file("asdf.txt"); 
	ofstream file2("qwerty.txt", ios::trunc); 

	if(!file)
		cout << "File not found";
	if(!file2)
		cout << "File not found";
