    How do I ignore values from an input file

    I am trying to ignore values from an input file. I used the command

    cin.ignore()

    nut when I go to try the program I have to keep pushing enter and the message shows up one letter at a time, and it still isn't ignoring the value.

    Try replacing "cin" with the name of your ifstream object, eg:
    Code:
    std::ifstream in("myfile.txt");
    in.ignore();//ignore first char...
