File Reading Problem

Hello, everyone. Like to thank all those who took the time to look at this thread. I'm in need of some assitance. I'm trying to get a program to read from the second line instead of the first line of a txt file. Here is what I have so far:

Code:

---


#include <iostream.h>
#include <fstream.h>
int main()
{
  char a[200];
  ifstream inFile("a:\\joey.txt", ios::in);
  inFile.get(a,200);
  cout<<a<<endl;
  inFile.close();
  }


---

That makes it get from the first line. But everything I've tried to make it read from the second instead, hasn't worked. So can anyone help me out?

the post what u have done is not relavent to this board. this is 'C' board form.

s.s.harish

Moved to C++ board.

try this:

Code:

---

#include<iostream>  //standards-compliant header
#include<fstream>  //same as above

int main()
{
    char*line=new char&#091;256&#093;;
    std::fstream file("Untitled1.dat",std::ios::in);
    file.ignore(32000,'\n');        //ignore 32k chars, or up to '\n'
    file.getline(line,256,'\n');    //take in the next line, up to 256 chars
    std::cout<<line;                //output the line
    std::cin.get();                //wait for user input
    return 0;
}
