RE: [Dev-C++] creating files

[Ramana K. <ra...@my...>]

I know how to save to binary, which doesn't look like text if opened in
notepad or something:
#include <fstream.h>
...
int anumber = 17;
char letters[7] = "hello!";

ofstream fout("path of file");

fout.write((char*) &anumber, sizeof anumber);
fout.write((char*) &letters, sizeof letters);
fout.close()
//to retrieve data
ifstream fin("path of file");
int savednumber;
fin.read((char*) &savednumber, sizeof savednumber);
...

that's the basic principle for it, it worked for me, and some things might
not be necessary (like the (char*) for letters), I'm not sure, but including
it shouldn't hurt.
You also might need to include stdlib.h if it doesn't work
