    code help for file program

    Hi,
    I am new to this forum and C++ programming. I wanted some help for coding a program so as to access some data from a file.

    I want to write a function lets say fn1() which will scan a line everytime the function fn1() is called.

    Code:
    13233266  14  16 25.80  23.50 24.40  58.76
    13233486  14  12 24.74  24.73 23.88  60.04
    13233584  12  14 25.30  22.48 23.77  58.71
    13233804  14  14 25.25  23.27 23.65  58.77
    13233909  10  14 25.37  22.54 24.01  58.15
    13234117  16   8 24.66  21.75 23.03  58.60
    13234227   6  16 25.52  23.58 25.15  59.14
    13234331  12  20 25.21  23.68 24.36  59.59
    these are the data present in values.txt

    I have to write fn1() such that for the
    first time fn1() is called it should input first line,
    second time its called it should input second line

    can anyone help me... how should i use fseek to jump to the line i want...i can handle with fopen and fscanf..
    But the major problem is Jumping to the required line

    Use getline() to read a whole line, then parse that line to extract the fields of information.
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
