Hi sanu

What sort of input do you have, a file?

[LimeOats]

#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>

void writeFile(int year, int month, int day) {
	std::ofstream out("date.txt");
	out << month << "/" << day << "/" << year << std::endl;
	out.flush();
	out.close();
}

int main() {
	int year, month, day;
	std::cout << "Enter year: ";
	std::cin >> year;
	std::cout << "Enter month: ";
	std::cin >> month;
	std::cout << "Enter day: ";
	std::cin >> day;

	writeFile(year, month, day);
}

@ TheIdeasMan: I read the date value from the file and stored in the vector. Now I want to pull the date (integer ) from the vector and write on the another file. But my criteria is if the value of day and month is < 10, the 0 Should be added before the integer value. I can write the function to do that, but I am looking for some simpler way whether any method exists already.. Thanks


@LimeOats: THanks for your comments but do that works while I must need to include before the month and day value less than 10.
EG. if the month is 1 , then the value written on the file should be 01 and so on.

Thanks

Using setw and setfill is what I use. Set the width to 2 and set fill to '0'

@spaggy: THanks a lot.. indeed a great help for me..

I did try before also but now i realise my mistake.. what i did was just put the setfill without any setw()....

Cheers!!!!
