Multi-line File streaming

Okay, here is the problem:
I want to open a file with the code:

Code:

---

#include <fstream.h>

int main()

{
        ofstream print; // stream variable declaration
        print.open("LPT1"); // open stream
       
        // Print Text (the character ‘\f’ will produce a form feed)
        print << "This text will print on the printer.\f";
        print.close(); // close stream
        return 0;
}

(written from another Post here, cant remember from who, sorry ILL FIND OUT NOW!)
and I want to print it onto the screen
The file is called text.txt
Here is the code I use now:

Code:

---

#include <iostream.h>
#include <fstream.h>

int main()
{
        char str[300];
        ifstream a_file("text.txt");
        a_file>>str;
        cout<<str<<endl;
        a_file.close();
        return 0;
}

When I execute the program all it has is
#include

That's because the extraction operator (>>) will read up until whitespace is encountered. You'll either have to read the file into one large string using ifstream::get(), or loop through it reading one word at a time until you reach eof.
