The document discusses file handling in C++. It defines different file stream classes like ofstream for writing, ifstream for reading, and fstream for both. It explains the process of opening, reading/writing, and closing files. It also covers file modes, pointers, binary I/O examples and functions like get(), put(), read(), write() for file operations.
File Handling is used in C language for store a data permanently in computer.
Using file handling you can store your data in Hard disk.

Baabtra.com has a solution to provide programming for kids in school. This is based on the CBSE curriculum of India. The main subjects covered are Mathematics and Physics.
Brief PPT on File Handling Operations which includes opening, closing, writing, reading of the file. The program done in this is worked on DEV C++. but i advice the viewers and the students who wants to take the idea then please do practice your and your own program as an example so that you will understand the topic very well.

4. What is a File?
• A file is a collection on information, usually
stored on a computer’s disk. Information
can be saved to files and then later reused.
5. Classes for file stream operation
ofstream: Stream class to write on files
ifstream: Stream class to read from files
fstream: Stream class to both read and write from/to files.
6. The Process of Using a File
• Using a file in a program is a simple three-
step process
– The file must be opened. If the file does not
yet exits, opening it means creating it.
– Information is then saved to the file, read from
the file, or both.
– When the program is finished using the file,
the file must be closed.
7. Opening a File
• Before data can be written to or read from
a file, the file must be opened.
ifstream inputFile;
inputFile.open(“customer.dat”);
8. // This program demonstrates the declaration of an fstream
// object and the opening of a file.
#include <iostream.h>
#include <fstream.h>
void main(void)
{
fstream dataFile; // Declare file stream object
char fileName[81];
cout << "Enter the name of a file you wish to openn";
cout << "or create: ";
cin.getline(fileName, 81);
dataFile.open(fileName, ios::out);
cout << "The file " << fileName << " was opened.n";
}
9. File Modes
Name Description
ios::in Open file to read
ios::out Open file to write
ios::app All the date you write, is put at the end of the file.
It calls ios::out
ios::ate All the date you write, is put at the end of the file.
It does not call ios::out
ios::trunc Deletes all previous content in the file. (empties
the file)
ios::nocreate If the file does not exist, opening it with the open()
function gets impossible.
ios::noreplace If the file exists, trying to open it with the open()
function, returns an error.
ios::binary Opens the file in binary mode.
11. INPUT AND OUTPUT OPERATION
put() and get() function
the function put() writes a single character to the associated stream.
Similarly, the function get() reads a single character form the
associated stream.
example :
file.get(ch);
file.put(ch);
write() and read() function
write() and read() functions write and read blocks of binary data.
example:
file.read((char *)&obj, sizeof(obj));
file.write((char *)&obj, sizeof(obj));
12. File Pointers And Their Manipulation
•ifstream, like istream, has a pointer known as the get
pointer that points to the element to be read in the next
input operation.
•ofstream, like ostream, has a pointer known as the put
pointer that points to the location where the next element
has to be written.
•Finally, fstream, inherits both, the get and the put pointers,
from iostream (which is itself derived from both istream
and ostream).
13. seekg()
moves get pointer(input) to a
specified location
seekp()
moves put pointer (output) to
a specified location
tellg()
gives the current position of
the get pointer
tellp()
gives the current position of
the put pointer
These internal stream pointers that point to the reading or writing locations within a
stream can be manipulated using the following member functions:
The other prototype for these functions is:
seekg(offset, refposition );
seekp(offset, refposition );
14. •The parameter offset represents the number of
bytes the file pointer is to be moved from the
location specified by the parameter refposition.
The refposition takes one of the following three
constants defined in the ios class.
•ios::beg start of the file
ios::cur current position of the pointer
ios::end end of the file
•example:
file.seekg(-10, ios::cur);
15. Binary File I/O Examples
//Example 1: Using get() and put()
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
void main()
{
fstream File("test_file",ios::out | ios::in | ios::binary);
char ch;
ch='o';
File.put(ch); //put the content of ch to the file
File.seekg(ios::beg); //go to the beginning of the file
File.get(ch); //read one character
cout << ch << endl; //display it
File.close();
}
16. File I/O Example: Reading
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>
int main(void)
{
ifstream openFile(“data.txt"); //open a text file data.txt
string line;
if(openFile.is_open()){ //
while(!openFile.eof()){
getline(openFile,line);//read a line from data.txt and put it in a string
cout << line;
}
else{
cout<<“File does not exist!”<<endl;
exit(1);}
}
openFile.close();
return 0;
}
