    To append to a line in the middle of the file, you need to read the whole file in and rewrite it. You can't "insert" text into a file directly.

    To append to the end of the file, simply open the file in append mode.
    When all else fails, read the instructions.
    If you're posting code, use code tags: [code] /* insert code here */ [/code]

    Code:
    ofstream fileOut( "test.txt", ios::app );
