I need help with reading file

hello,

i wrote a program that would write in personal details of a person such as their age, sex ,address, name. So far i can make the program save all information into a file.

But the problem is during reading. Since addresses and names have space(s) in between, how can i read the file correctly?? I can't guess how much space a user will enter.

By the way, for characters i always use :

cin.getline

thats why it allows user to key in information with space in between.

Please help?

c++ imposes no structure on files. That is up to you.
In this case it may be better to use a fixed length record and binary file.For instance make each record 100 bytes long and split that up into separate fields as needed.
