parsing

[natasha]

a line from a text file is

"mere thinking is nothing" 50

now is there any function by which i can save the contents from the line between the two quotes only into a character array variable

Use the ignore functonality to skip the first quotation mark, then read in the string using the getline function while specifying the quotation mark as the delimiter.

#include <iostream> 
#include <fstream>

using namespace std;

int main() 
{ 
	ifstream inText("message.txt", ios::in);
	char message[50] = {'\0'};

	inText.ignore(1);
	inText.getline(message,50,'"');
	inText.close();

	cout << message << endl;

	return 0; 
}
