    problem with string extraction

    I am trying to extract the first two characters from a string using getline, is this possible or how can I do the extraction?

    Can't you use getline to get the string and then just access the first two characters by saying:


    Code:
    stringName.substr(2);

    Or, if you don't want to get the entire line from the stream, just call get() twice to get two characters. Is there a reason you think you need to use getline?
