This little bit of code:
ofstream fout;
fout.open("C:\file.txt");
fout <<"Hi";
fout.close();
Will that create the file C:\file.txt and write to it? Or will it look for it, and if its created it will write to it? If its the latter, how Do I create it?
When in doubt just give it a go. The best way to learn is to just give it a try.
It looks good from here. Your program (assuming you've include <fstream>) will create file.txt in the root of C: and write Hi everytime you run the program. If a file exists named file.txt it will be overwritten.
For more info on open modes and protection take a look at the ofstream:pen method.
Backslash between parenthesis is a escape-sequence sign. F.ex. \n \r \" and so on... To insert a backslash in string you need to write \\. So "C:\\file.txt"

I really wish I could find a good tutorial on File IOStreams. I understand a little, just enough to et my self confused.
I remember www.google.com gave me some good pages.

This website has a basic yet good tutorial on fstream.
