    What hast thou tried thus far?

    Pretend you can only access one character at a time (cin.get()). How might you do it then?

    I tried:

    Code:
    while( true ) {
                                infile >> textRead[t]; // read a character
                                if( textRead[t]!='"' ) // if that character is a "
                                        break; // then stop while loop
                                t++;                       
        }
    
        infile >> textRead; // read the rest of the sentence
        cout << textRead; // print the rest of the sentence
