Thread: Reading multiple lines from a file

Hi, all!

I'm writing an encryption program where I want to encrypt 2 lines that are being read in from a file. First I want to encrypt the 1st line and write the encrypted version to a second file. Then I want to encrypt the 2nd line and write it to a third file.

How can I read in the 2 lines so that I can deal with each one individually?

e.g. this is line one
this is the second line.

I want to read in line 1, encrypt it, and send it to a second file. Then I want to read in line 2, encrypt it, and send it to a third file.

some version of get(), getline() ???

HELP PLEASE???

One solution is std::getline() and a string object.

Kuphryn

cin.getline() for c-style strings
getline() for string objects

convert first line char by char until it hits EOL character #10 and #13 if memory servers <those are ANSI> at which point have it output to second file
