    How can I read one number at a time?

    How can I read in one number at a time from a string of numbers?
    Something like this:

    1429943983...

    I want to read in the one, then the four, and so on. My first thought was to use get. Something like fin.get(number); But this statement only seems to accept a char, not an int. I am at a loss, short of reading in a char and converting to an int through 10 if statements. Any help would be great.

    Do that. Read a character, convert it to a number. Subtract the character value of zero from the character number to get its numeric value. Example:

    cout << "'4' - '0' = " << '4' - '0' << endl;

    Enjoy.

    Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment.

    Thanks, that's what I'll do, I just thought there may have been an easier way.
