how do you open a file whose name contains a backslash, such as:
temp\output.dat or c:\temp\output.dat

[Disch]

Use a forward slash.

IE: "C:/temp/output.dat".

[nanadien]

ok,but can i use it like this-the name as a directory- in the fstream function when i call it?

[Disch]

Yes.

fstream myfile("C:/path/to/your/file/filename.txt");
