help function

**Luke2525** · 06-12-2002

Hi guys,

I got a quick and easy question...

How would I do the following:

Open a text file up with lots of text, like a help file and display like 25 lines or so and then press any key to continue, so people can actually read it.

Is there any good ways to do this or what not?

Thanks a lot

Well... one way would be to read a line at a time and stop at the 25th line

Code:

char buffer[200];
int counter=0;

while (!myfile.eof())
{
    if(counter=25){
        counter=0;
        system("pause");
    }
    myfile.getline (buffer,100);
    cout << buffer << endl;
    counter++;
}
