when opening a file does ofstream deletes its content by default? If so, how do I cancel that? I don't want to use app, because I need to edit the file between the existing characters. thanks! | |

from this I understood I should use output.open("test.txt" , iostream::ate);it still deletes the previous content though | |

| but then I can only add output at the end of the file (that's what I understand at least).. I don't want that | |

Sorry, I misread the question. This might be better: fstream fout("test.txt", ios_base::in | ios_base::out | ios_base::ate);The first time this is run, if the file does not already exist, it will give an error, so you may need alternative logic for that case. | |
