Unless you wanted to write an HTML parser that checks for HTML 4.01 validated code, in which case that doesn't do you a whole hell of a lot of good.

As for the question.. just go through the normal process of reading from a file. It'll work.. HTML code is just text to C++'s point of view.

Code:

int main()
{
	//Method 1
/*
	char test[15];

	ifstream b_file("http://www.yahoo.com/index.html");
	b_file >> test;
	b_file.close();

	ofstream a_file("test1.txt");
	a_file << test;
	a_file.close();
*/

	//Method 2
/*
	char* buffer=new char[255];
	ifstream readfile("http://www.yaho.com/index.html");
	for (int x = 0; x < 100; x++)
	{
		readfile.get(buffer, 255, '\n');
		cout<<buffer;
		readfile.close();
	}
*/

	// Method 3
/*
	char line[255];
	int read, display;
	ifstream readfile("http://www.yahoo.com/index.html");
	for(read=0; read<255; read++)
	{
		readfile.get(line[read], 255, '\n');
	}
	readfile.close();
	for(display=0; display<255;read++)
	{
 		cout<<line[display]<<endl;
	}
*/
}

1. displays a few weird characters
2. displays nothing
3. compile error

note: i changed the code you gave me cuz my compiler doesn't like std:: or string
