Thread: Reading lines in from a file?

Here are some other helpful things in case you need them:

Code:

int last_position = stringname.rfind("\");
int length_of_path = stringname.length() - (last_position + 1);
string path = stringname.substr(last_position + 1, length_of_path);

ok thank you that was very helpful, one question though im use
char [] to store my getline, because getline wouldnt accept string
variables, i shoudl have thought of using string, because i
was aware of those commands, however what im nto aware of
is the best way to read into a string, if i remember correctly,
read() will do it, but it reads so many characters and since im not
sure of each lines lenght at run time, it may read to far or to short.
with that said my question would be, can read() take a delimiter
or is there a better way.
