Thread: About appending to a file

Hi all
I have a different problem now -- trying to use "ios::app".

I understand it is what you use to append to a file, but where is it placed?

in

Code:

 ifstream a_file ios::app?

in

Code:

 ofstream b_file ios::app?

in both?.... where?

Appendig to a stream that you want to read doesn't make sense. does it ?

You use the open mode flags when you open the file, or with the non-empty constructor.

Code:

ofstream out1;
out1.open("YourFileName", std::ios::app);
ofstream out2("YourFileName", std::ios::app);
