    Talking Creating a File

    Hello Everyone;

    I am new to the world of C++ and I know some file I/O coding but I wanted to know if there was a way for your program to create a file if the requested file does not exist.

    When you save, a file will be created if one doesn't exist.
    If a file already exists it will be overwritten (unless specifying APPEND, which continues at the end of it).
