How can a .txt file be converted to binary file (.dat) with C++ and fstream?
I'm trying to write a simple program to test user efficiency with a keyboard (just words per minute and accuracy for now) but I'm having difficulty with the file manipulation part. I want to have a list of words stored in a .txt file (for easy editing) like this:

        cheese
        computer
        photograph
        download
        etc...

I want to be able to convert the .txt file as a whole into a binary file, with each word going into an entry in the .dat file, but I'm having a hard time figuring out how fstream reads data from a .txt file. What would be the easiest way to read the words from the list with fstream so that they can be added to entries in a binary file?
