Syntax

The syntax for fstream definitions is:

f++:   
fstream definitions
fstream(definitions)
:=(fstream, definitions)
n++:   
@fstream definitions
@fstream(definitions)
@:=(fstream, definitions)

Note: If you are using the first syntax for variable definitions and want to have more code and/or text following on the same line then simply end the definition with ';'.

Description

The fstream type is used for file streams.

Note: If you need to define thousands of variables then := is faster, plus it has useful error messages for unrecognised types.

Member functions

The following member functions are available for fstream variables:

close closes the file from reading and writing

fs.close()

n++ example
