Append to a File with fstream Instead of Overwriting

Question

I'm trying to create a basic highscore system for a project I'm working on.

The problem I'm having is, although I write the names into my main they just overwrite the previous.

Currently I have this:

void ManagePoint::saveScore(string Name, int Score) {      ofstream newFile("scorefile.txt");      if(newFile.is_open())        {         newFile << Name << " " << Score;                 }     else      {         //You're in trouble now Mr!     }       newFile.close();  } 

and for testing I'm adding them like so:

runner->saveScore("Robert", 34322);  runner->saveScore("Paul", 526);  runner->saveScore("Maxim", 34322); 

On load display all that will appear is Maxim's score, how can I loop through and save them all, or append all or something?

Answer 1

You need to open the file with the append mode:

ofstream newFile("scorefile.txt", std::ios_base::app); 

There are various other modes too.
