How do assign file output to a variable like this

ofstream file;
file.open("file.txt", ios::out);
std::string str = std::cout << filel;

[brds]

ofstrem output; // Output to file
ifstream input; // Input from file

input.open("file.txt", ifstream::in)

string str;

input >> str; // Copy a string from the file into your variable

input.close; // Close the file when done

Please do not post help questions in the C++ Programmers Forum!!!

Moved to C and C++.

Hi i tried your method but when I use it in this code it doesn't set the value of the file output to the var. the file contains the number 3.

int player::set_stats()
{
	stats pstats;
	
	ifstream playerstats;
	playerstats.open("player stats.txt", ifstream::in);
	playerstats >> pstats.atk;
	playerstats.close();
	return pstats.atk;

}

By the way, ignore the classes they are working fine
