Thread: easy Q -> read a whole line from file

i've done a bit of searching ubt havnt found anything
its quite simple..
i want to read a line from a file.
since the default
ifstream blah("blah.txt");
blah >> word;
gets a word at a time

how would i read in a whole line from a file stopping at a \n

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but following your example( paperbox005 ) I believe it would be:

Code:

 ifstream blah("blah.txt");
 getline( blah, word );
