    Using fstream to edit a html file

    Well, my first question is if you can ifstream a html file. My second question is if you can, using the apstring header, fill a text file with one string. And thirdly, can any of this be simply done?

    If you're curious as to why I want to do this, I am planning to create a program that edits html files by making all the text within the < and > signs lowercase.

    Thank you for taking the time to read this... Peace.

    Yes this can all be easily done using fstream. HTML files are only .txt files with a different extension. They can be read and edited just like any other text-files.
