    end of line command

    Hi all,

    I was wondering if, when reading from a file, there is a way (or an algorithm) to check if you reached the end of a line.

    Thanks.

    Sorry I thought you said end of file. -ashamed- You'd probably get a '\n' character at the end of a line. Just use the getline() function and that will read in a whole line.

    I thought eof() was the end-of-file condition. I need something to check if you reached the end of a line.

    use
    Code:
    getline( cin, string_var, '\n' );
    That will read until a newline character is presented
