Sample Code 1:
//A simple program to write a string into a file.
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
using namespace std;
int main() {
// Create and open a text file
ofstream MyFile("filename.txt");
// Write to the file
MyFile << "Files can be tricky, but it is fun enough!";
// Close the file
MyFile.close();
}
Sample Code 2:
//A simple program to write a string into a file and then reading back from the same file .
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
using namespace std;
int main () {
// Create a text file
ofstream MyWriteFile("filename.txt");
// Write to the file
MyWriteFile << "Files can be tricky, but it is fun enough!";
// Close the file
MyWriteFile.close();
// Create a text string, which is used to output the text file
string myText;
// Read from the text file
ifstream MyReadFile("filename.txt");
getline (MyReadFile, myText);
cout << myText<<endl;
}
Sample Code 3:
2
//This program open a file to read its contents line by line.
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
using namespace std;
int main () {
string myText;
ifstream MyReadFile;
MyReadFile.open("file.txt", ios::in);
while( getline(MyReadFile,myText))
cout << myText<<endl;

Sample Code 4:
//This program write complete record to a file and read the same record from the file and show it on the
screen.
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
using namespace std;
struct student{
int id;
string name;
double cgpa;
};
int main () {

Lab Tasks
Task 01:
Modify the 5th Sample Task by adding 5 more students and do the following:
1. Print all records.
2. Print only ID, First name and Grade of those student(s) who secured 70+ marks
3. Print the complete records of student(s) who’s first or last name is “Ahmad”
4. Print the record of students with even IDs.
5. Print just Name and ID of student(s) with ‘F’ grade.
Note: Create a menu of above five options using switch statement and allow the user to select one of
them. (You may add some other possibilities as well).
Task 02:
Modify the 5th Sample Task:
1. Create an Array of Student class with the size of at least 20 elements, Like:
a. Student Records[20];
2. Modify your student class which generate automatic IDs for each student.
a. For that purpose you should use a static data member IDGenerator which assign IDs to
each student.
3. Initialize with proper values.
4. Write all 20 records to a file “FinalResult.txt” using for loop.
5. Read back all records in an array again using for loop like:
a. Students ReadRecords[20];
6. Must add some records with ‘F’ grade.
