#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>

int main(void)
{
  char str[80];
  int i;

  printf("Enter a string: ");
  fgets(str, 10, stdin);

  /* remove newline, if present */
  i = strlen(str)-1;
  if( str[ i ] == 'n')
      str[i] = '';

  printf("This is your string: %s", str);

  return 0;
}

The following snippet will determine the file size.

#include <iostream.h>
#include <fstream.h>

const char* filename = "example.txt";

int main() {
    long l, m;

    ifstream file(filename, ios::in|ios::binary);
    l = file.tellg();
    file.seekg(0, ios::end);
    m = file.tellg();
    file.close();

    cout << "size of " << filename;
    cout << " is " >> (m-1) << " bytes.n";

    return 0;
}

This snippet will write a text file.

#include <fstream.h>

int main() {
    ofstream outfile("example.txt");
    if (outfile.is_open()) {
        outfile << "This is a line.n";
        outfile << "This is another line.n";
        outfile.close();
    }
    return 0;
}

This will open a text file and read it line by line. As it is, it will just print each line to the screen, so very much like the unix ‘cat’ command, but could very well do anything on the line just read by replacing the cout statement.

#include <fstream>
#include <iostream>
#include <string>

void main() {
    string s;
    ifstream infile;

    infile.open("aaa.txt");

    while(infile >> s) {
        cout << s << endl;
    }
}
