    Thumbs up How Do I read whole line, rather than just strings before Space?

    Brief history about me.
    Hey, Kind of Noob and started programming recently.

    My situation
    I have a Text file that contain 7 questions and I want to read those questions from a text file, full lines not just Strings before SPACE.

    The questions are being stored in a struct called Question.

    Here is the Source Codes:

    My Struct

    Code:
    // Declaring and defining struct that has one member //
    
    struct Question
    {
        string Questiontxt;
    
    
    };
    
    
    Question questions[MAXQUES];
    Code:
    // Reading Questions //    
    
    ifstream quesf("questions.txt");
    
    
        while (!quesf.eof())
        {
            for (int i=0; i<MAXQUES; i++)
            {
                getline( quesf >> questions[i].Questiontxt));
            }
        }
    
    
        quesf.close();
    Actual code that writes first line:

    Code:
    Gwin.writeString(235,310,questions[2].Questiontxt);
    My Text File:

    Code:
    In the United States, how much is a dime worth?How many inches are in a foot?
    Michael Jordan professionally played which of these sports?
    Where does the sun set?
    What is the meaning of bogus?
    What is the state pension age for men?
    Where does Santa Claus come from?
    The result I am getting is ..:

    from?
    But I want it display full line of text. ie :
    In the United States, how much is a dime worth?How many inches are in a foot?

    Code:
    getline( quesf >> questions[i].Questiontxt));
    That shouldn't even compile. std::istream::operator >> returns an std::istream&, and std::getline doesn't take any such parameter. Plus you've got an extra closing parenthesis at the end there. Perhaps you meant:

    Code:
    getline(quesf, questions[i].Questiontxt);
    Also, read up on std::vector; it works like an array only it's resizable.
