All the functionality you want is in CoreMisc.h

/**
	 * Write the FString to a file.
	 * Supports all combination of ANSI/Unicode files and platforms.
	 */
	static bool SaveStringToFile( const FString& String, const TCHAR* Filename, EEncodingOptions::Type EncodingOptions=EEncodingOptions::AutoDetect, IFileManager* FileManager=&IFileManager::Get() );


/**
	 * Load a text file to an FString.
	 * Supports all combination of ANSI/Unicode files and platforms.
	 * @param Result string representation of the loaded file
	 * @param Filename name of the file to load
	 * @param VerifyFlags flags controlling the hash verification behavior ( see EHashOptions )
	 */
	static bool LoadFileToString( FString& Result, const TCHAR* Filename, uint32 VerifyFlags=0 );



/**
	 *	Load the given ANSI text file to an array of strings - one FString per line of the file.
	 *	Intended for use in simple text parsing actions
	 *
	 *	@param	InFilename			The text file to read, full path
	 *	@param	InFileManager		The filemanager to use - NULL will use &IFileManager::Get()
	 *	@param	OutStrings			The array of FStrings to fill in
	 *
	 *	@return	bool				true if successful, false if not
	 */
	static bool LoadANSITextFileToStrings(const TCHAR* InFilename, IFileManager* InFileManager, TArray<FString>& OutStrings);

#Sample Usage:

You call the functions statically

FFileHelper::SaveStringToFile(...);

FFileHelper::LoadANSITextFileToStrings(...);

#CPP Source Code For You

I use the above functions in my Victory BP Library plugin, whose entire source code is available with the download (no cost)
