File inside a executable? - Hoodie+ - Dec 19, 2015
Hello everyone.
I am wondering is there a way so I can put for example "test.txt" file inside my executable so that I can access it later with fopen()?
Hopefully I explained well.
Thank you! 🤝

Contents inside test.txt would be nothing more than binary data which notepad interprets.
Yes, you can store the contents of test.txt inside your application. But you can not put the actual "test.txt" file inside your application. You have to understand, it's all just binary information.
When you call fopen, you will simply name it test.txt, and write the contents back into a file.

yes you can, write to the end of the .exe , then use fread at position filesize + bytes written
