How to save data to text file in C++

 In this post, I would like to share example how to save data to text file in C++.

Description:

This small program is allowed you to calculate salary for staff by input some information such Name, Gender, Tel , fee per hour , number of work hour and then save it to text file.

code:

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

#include <string>

using namespace std;

// function to save file text file: 

void SaveFile()

{

   string s_name , gender, address , tel;

   float hour;

   float hour_fee;

   ofstream Addfile;

   char choose;

   bool Again=true;

   float salary =0;

     //Open file      

     Addfile.open("Staffinfo.txt",fstream::in | fstream::out | fstream::app);

     /*Staffinfo.txt is already created before debug this program 

      for example if your project folder name's Staff, so the Staffinfo.txt's location_ is in Visual Studio 2010\Projects\Staff\Staff */

     while (Again)

     {

         //input data

         cout<<" staff's name : "; cin>>s_name;

         fflush(stdin);

         cout<<"\t gender : "; cin>>gender;

         cout<<"\t address  : "; cin>>address;

         cout<<"\t tel : "; cin>>tel;

         cout<<"\n\t Salary for staff : "<<endl;

         cout<<"\t fee per hour : "; cin>>hour_fee;

         cout<<"\t number of hour : "; cin>>hour;

         salary = (hour_fee * hour);

         cout<<"\t staff salary is :"<<endl<<endl;

             

         //Write data to text file

         Addfile<<"Staff information"<<endl;

         Addfile<<"\t Staff name : "<<s_name<<endl;

         Addfile<<"\t Gender : "<<gender<<endl;

         Addfile<<"\t Adrress : "<<address<<endl;

         Addfile<<"\t Tel : " <<tel<<endl;

         Addfile<<"Salary for staff"<<endl;

         Addfile<<"\t fee per hour : "<<hour_fee<<endl;

         Addfile<<"\t number of work hour :"<<hour<<endl;

         Addfile<<"\t Salary : "<<salary<<endl;

         Addfile<<"_________________________________________"<<endl;

         cout<<"Do you want to input more staff? (Y or N) : "; cin>>choose;

         if (choose=='Y'||choose=='y')

         {

             Again=true;

         }

         else if(choose=='N' || choose=='n')

         {

              Again=false;

         }

       }

}

                

int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])

{

   Start:

   SaveFile();

   cout<<" \n++ Do want to exit (Press Y to continue or N to exist):"; cin>>choose;

    if (choose=='Y'||choose=='y')

      {

         system("cls");

         go to Start;

         break;

       }

      else if(choose=='N' || choose=='n')

       {

          exit(0);

       }

            

       system("Pause");

       return 0;

}

Done .... Hope this post is helpful for you.
