You have to import the fstream library in your code and use its methods. The last two lessons in module 9 of the C++ tutorial explains this topic and how to use the library to write data to a file. I suggest that you give it a look and if you still have doubts, we will be here to help.

Please, put your code in Code Playgroung and share the link or post the code here in order to take a look. In the meantime, check that you open/close the file before/after you perform any writing/reading action. Also check that you open the file in the correct mode (write mode for writing and read mode for reading). Hope it help

I already gave it a try and it is already writing the words I enter into a text, but sadly I cannot retrieve them. I tried using fscanf() but everytime i ran my program it won't respond anymore. Any ideas on how I could fix this? Thanks, btw
