***External access help***

[187]

How would i go about accessing a text file within a program and
modifying it. I have vc++ six and it would be cool to know how to do
this. I am looking at making a program that will automatically update
my website depending on information i put in a database.

Search in your C++ book for streams. Especially ifstream (for reading),
ofstream (for writing) and fstream (for both).

You should look at the iostream library. You will find out all about it in
the help files that come with your compiler.

and web before posting.
