Hi I am trying to learn C++ with this gigantic book of Bjarne Stroustrup and do not understand it because it has few thousand pages or something. It is full of stuff that I do not need and I look just for only one single thing:

What is the code to find an excel file open it read it take something out of a cell and put it into a php on my server somewhere?

It just doesn't work like that, it's not a phone book, you won't find code "read excel file' in section "Excel".

You don't read the book start to end and start programming. You read it and work along with it, writing code, starting with simple things progressing to more advanced techniques.

And you don't even need to use c++ for that, same can be done even in that turd of a language called php

I do not need this.
C++ is only about mathematics and stuff.
What I need is a command that transfers the stuff of the homepage from the linux server on A2hosting to my home server in windows 2016.
Where to ask? I thought it can be done with C++. You just write such an .exe and it does this for you and that requires a code which I will never find.
I can not and do not want study the whole C++ and I need what I said right now.

No need for PHP shaming.

Basic file I/O streams + string manipulation.

Anything else...?

Thank you. I thought you can give me the code. It is kinda not explained in understandable language with perfect examples.

To be quite frank: Yes, it is.

I am not sure which book you're reading of Bjarne.

Either learn language or pay someone to do a task for you. Help is free, doing your work for you is not.

Either I don't understand the task at all or C++ is a horrible choice for what you want to do.
