    plodata<<

    I am writing data to a file but want to include an integer (i) in the title of the file. How can I go about this?

    i = 0, 1, 2...

    ofstream plotdata("../Data/supersonic_jet(i).vtk", ios:ut);

    filename:

    supersonic_jet0.vtk
    supersonic_jet1.vtk
    supersonic_jet2.vtk
    etc

    Use a stringstream to build the filename.

    Say i want to name the file name after string s. How do I go about this?

    string s = "file1.vtk"

    ofstream plotdata("../Data/(s)", iosut);

    One possible way:
    Code:
    string s = "file1.vtk";
    ofstream plotdata( ("../Data/"+s).c_str() );
