How to read a file line-by-line?

[IGx89]

Is there an easy way to read a file line-by-line, not using MFC? I looked at fread, ReadFile, and ofstream, but I couldn't find a "ReadLine" function in any of them. Thanks!

Take a look at ifstream::getline and string::getline. - Mike

You can use getline()

#include

void main()
{
char buffer[256];
ifstream file;
file.open("c:\\autoexec.bat", ios::in | ios::nocreate);

if (file.good())
{
while(file.peek() != EOF)
{
file.getline(buffer,255);
cout << buffer << endl;
}
file.close();
}
else
cout << "error opening autoexec.bat" << endl;

}

the default delimiter for getline is \n, see msdn for more details. Hope this helps sledge

One solution is std::getline(). string sInput; std::getline(file, sInput); Kuphryn
