Elysian Shadows

I'm currently working on a new project that I want to have a list of the top 5 high scores but ifstream objects seem to only be able to convert each line into a string.
However to print it to the screen I need it to be a char * so I don't know what to do.
And another more minor problem is that every time the program starts I want the highscores.txt file to be filled with fake scores but ONLY if it's empty, but I can't think of any way to check that.
Any and all help will be very appreciated.

Look at the reference. They have a member function called c_str.

Tried that already.

Then it should work. Also, just have a bool named "makeFakeScores" or something, start it as true, if you find something in the high scores files, flip it to false.

EDIT: Well I tried it and it works now..... For some reason.
But how do I check whether a text file is empty or not?
And how do you add two strings together with a space added to separate them?

Have you tried reading any documentation?

peek() and see if it's empty.
