Getting one line of a text file

How do i get one line of a text file and turn it into a string?
Using fstream.h

IE. Get line 2 and make it char line2[100];

Heh ;something i actually know:

#include <iostream.h>
#include <fstream.h>

char line[100];

int main()
{
ifstream intput('whatever.txt");

input>>line;
cout<<line;
input.close();
return 0;
}


hehehe

where/can you specify what line you want?

Ok using fstream.h I would just loop throu all the lines you don't want and then grab the one you want like this:

Code:

---

#include <fstream.h>
#include <iostream.h>

#define LINE_NUMBER 2

int main()
{
 ifstream i;                                                  //Main file object.
 char buff[100];                                          //Input buffer.
 i.open("whatever.txt");                              //Open file.
 //Go throu all line tells the right one.
 for(int count=0;count<LINE_NUMBER;count++)
 {
  i.getline(buff,100);                                  //Get line.
 } 
 cout<<"Line "<<LINE_NUMBER<<" in the file was the data: "<<buff<<endl;                                //Tell user results.
 i.close();                                                    //Close file.
 return 0;                                                    //Done.
}
