    Input full line from file

    using
    Code:
    infile >> char_array;
    it only stores in the array the characters in the file untill a space is found. How do I store the entire line in the array?

    Thanks

    um

    infile.getline(szBuffer, int howlong, delimiter) so..

    Code:
    intfile.getline(szBuffer, 100, '\n');
//gets 100 characters..or until the enter key in file has been press..and stores in szBuffer..szBuffer can be a pointer to char..but remember to allocate memory or..make it an array of characters..
