help with cstrings!!

this may be a stupid question, or im not thinking correctly, but, im reading in a value from a file that consists of characters and integers (ex. DL948E) and assigning it to a cstring.

how can i read the whole thing and assign it, since its contains both integers and characters?

thanx in advance....

use getline(), for more info look here: http://cppreference.com/cppio_details.html

thanx for the help, i will give that a shot...
