    MultiLine I/O

    How do I get multiple lines to be stored in my one string if I don't know how many lines there are? Here is my current code... but I know the != EOF part is wrong.

    Code:
    	try {
    	ifstream b_file(fileName.c_str());
    	while(c != EOF) {
    	getline(b_file, c, '\n');
    	a += c;
    	}
    	if(a.compare("") == 0)
    	{ throw "That file does not exist.";}
    	b_file.close();
    Help please?

    Just use while( b_file ).
    Naturally I didn't feel inspired enough to read all the links for you, since I already slaved away for long hours under a blistering sun pressing the search button after typing four whole words! - Quzah

    And give your 'try' an associated 'catch'.
    The word rap as it applies to music is the result of a peculiar phonological rule which has stripped the word of its initial voiceless velar stop.

    Sorry... I was having trouble counting the braces... again.

    No problem, that just means my indentation was off. Thanks for pointing that out. I've gotta get in the habit of easy-to-read code anyway.
