text: So far, I have managed to open the file and am able to place information into a separate txt file. The problem I am having is finding out how to manipulate the data within the file once it's open. Not so much write my own data into a txt file.
  Also, I was reading some tips on using bubble sort to alphabetize the names within a certain column. I'm not quite sure if thats applicable here.
  For example, I am given two columns within the txt file such that:
  Student A
  marci 1
  dan 2
  mike3
  sam 4
  Student B
  kelly 2
  zack 3
  tony 4
  rachel 5
  I'd like to only alphabetize column A.
  My code so far
  // reading a text file #include <iostream> #include <fstream> #include <string> using namespace std; int main () { string line; ifstream myfile ("Students.txt"); //opens txt file if (myfile.is_open()) { while ( myfile.good() ) { getline (myfile,line); cout << line << endl; } myfile.close(); } else cout << "File not found"; ofstream outputFile; outputFile.open("StudentsNew.txt"); cout << " " << endl; cout << "Writing data to the file" << endl; //Writing to file outputFile << "Testing!" << endl; //Close file outputFile.close(); cout << "Done" << endl; cin.get(); cin.ignore(); return 0; }
  Can someone lead me into the right direction? Any tips would be great! Thank you
