reading from file

How do i read from a text file?

Code:

---

char Buffer[256];
ifstream File;
File.open("MyFile.txt", ios::in);

if(!File.fail())
{
  while(!File.eof())
  {
      File >> Buffer;
      cout << Buffer << " ";
  }
  File.close();
}

---

the ios::in was the bit i was after thanks

A buffer overflow instatnly crashes it, any way around it?

Replace File >> Buffer; with
File.getline(Buffer, 255, EOF);

can u xplain what that does plz it seems rather weird

Whatch out when using Microsoft VC++ 6.0

getline() reads a line from the file (with a max of 255 chars) of course ;).

can i read from a non-static line in a file so it searchs for
password=

or whatever?

What you have to be careful about is actually using >> to read/inpout since it reads only to the character return not skipping it while getline() reads the entire line and skips past the character return.

But that's what it's suppose to do (read the manual pages). I'm just saying the geline function in VC++ 6.0 is not working like descibed in the manual pages because it has a bug! ;)
