Looney I understand your problem

I also have the answer

however, this sounds similar to an assignment given by a teacher

so I will tell you the library you should use

and then you will show me how you think it is done then I will help you fix it okay?

coolio =P

just look up the fstream library or a.k.a. <fstream.h>

this library controls reading and writing of files of ANY format

so look it up and show me what you got
