Reading in a line.

[carrja99]

What I'm trying to do is read in each line from a file in the format of <char><blank><number, with char being read even if it is blank. The following code worked fine with while(read >> c), except in the instance that c was a blankspace.

while(read.get(c))
		{
		a[size] = c;		    // read char into array	
		sort_array(a, size);	    // keep array sorted.	
		read.get();                 // get the next char, which should be ' '
		read >> v;                  // read the frequency number		
		add_list(root, list, v, c); // add the node to the list
		size ++;   		    // increment size
		}

while ((read >> c >> v).good()) {
  // blah blah blah
}
