Is it not possible to read and write into a text resource file?

[ayanda83]

Hi there guys, I've added 4 text files as resource files to my program, but the files wont open. I would like to read and write on three of these file and "append" on the forth. Here is my code below where I try to open the file.

QFile sourcedTenders_file(":/cpt_rcs/App_Resources/cpt/Current_Sourced_Tenders.txt");    //contains urls for sourced tenders.
    if(!sourcedTenders_file.open(QFile::ReadWrite | QFile::Text))
    {
         QMessageBox msgBox_2;
         msgBox_2.setText("Url File could not open for reading...");
         msgBox_2.exec();
    }
    QTextStream in_stream(&sourcedTenders_file);

QFile sourcedTenders_file(":/cpt_rcs/App_Resources/cpt/Current_Sourced_Tenders.txt");    //contains urls for sourced tenders.
    if(!sourcedTenders_file.open(QFile::ReadWrite | QFile::Text))
    {
         QMessageBox msgBox_2;
         msgBox_2.setText("Url File could not open for reading...");
         msgBox_2.exec();
    }
    QTextStream in_stream(&sourcedTenders_file);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

And I have attached a picture below of where the files are situated in the file tree.filetree.PNG
