a simple ofstream open question

[Abubakar]

Hi,

If I write the following code:

ofstream f;
f.open("c:\\hello.txt", ios::binary | ios:ut);

how do I check if the file is successfully opened and ready to write ?
Should I do a f.is_open() check ?

Regards,

...ab

how do I check if the file is successfully opened and ready to write ?

Try:
if ( f.good() )
{
// Write...
}

Thanks, n what if write() function fails.

Then f.fail() will return true.
