Well great, but I still need to write to this file.

This will do text just fine. For a binary file you can do things like
getch(). C++ is a more modern approach so unless you are good at C or need
to fit this applicaiton into 64K or less things like C++, python and even
perl are FAR more suitable for the situation. Check out Bruce Eckel
"Thinknig in C++" its in PDF form on the web and is a very good book for C
programmers needing to get up to speed.

heh, np, i know enough C to debug it, and i am no C guru. Its just the last C
i really touched was on a 8bit 68HC11 micro controller.

The reason C++ came about was to release developers from the harsh evils of C
when it came to doing anything beyond basic array manipulation. Like
assembly many neat things can be done in C, and some times they are very
quick and small. But you have to ask your self, "Is 25 lines of C that run
really really fast and took me 12 hours to write, worth all of that 5 minutes
that it took me to write this in python?" Granted that is an exageration but
you get the point I am trying to make :)
If you have any problems do a google search on ifstream (for input hence the
name) and ofstream for output. they have very similar operators to istream
and ostream, since they i think are both derived from ios. I could be wrong
since it has been 6 years since I had that class :)
