How to read a line from a text file in c/c++? [duplicate]

Answer 1

getline() is what you're looking for. You use strings in C++, and you don't need to know the size ahead of time.

Assuming std namespace:

 ifstream file1("myfile.txt");
 string stuff;

 while (getline(file1, stuff, '\n')) {
      cout << stuff << endl;
 }

 file1.close();
