Use the system() function is the c++ access to the bash commands. Then refer to this article: https://linuxize.com/post/bash-check-if-file-exists/

Good luck!

I found out a way to do it right before you commented. Sorry lol

can you please tell me it?


#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <string.h>
using namespace std;

int main() {
  char filename[50];
  cout << "Enter file-name: \n";
  cin >> filename;
  ofstream textpad(filename);
  ifstream ifile;
  ifile.open(filename);
  if (ifile) {
    // your code here
  }
}
