How to append text to a text file in C++?

How to append text to a text file in C++? And create a new text file if it does not already exist and append text to it if it does exist.

You need to specify the append open mode like

#include <fstream>

int main() {  
  std::ofstream outfile;

  outfile.open("test.txt", std::ios_base::app); // append instead of overwrite
  outfile << "Data"; 
  return 0;
}

I use this code. It makes sure that file gets created if it doesn't exist and also adds bit of error checks.

static void appendLineToFile(string filepath, string line)
{
    std::ofstream file;
    //can't enable exception now because of gcc bug that raises ios_base::failure with useless message
    //file.exceptions(file.exceptions() | std::ios::failbit);
    file.open(filepath, std::ios::out | std::ios::app);
    if (file.fail())
        throw std::ios_base::failure(std::strerror(errno));

    //make sure write fails with exception if something is wrong
    file.exceptions(file.exceptions() | std::ios::failbit | std::ifstream::badbit);

    file << line << std::endl;
}
