how would you go about removing a header from a file?I have a bunch of files all with various headers some 5 or 6 lines long then the file and i need them removed.
its something like this
i've tryed scanning for the blank line but that wasn't 2 good and i would scan for parts of the text but its not always the same. i need to remove lines 1 2 3 and 4 but there not labeled like that1.text text
2.text test
3.testing jibberish
4.junk
heres the start of the file
Read 4 junk lines using getline() then start reading the 'real' data. Of course this only applies to files with four header lines then the data.

thats where my problem is, the amount of junk lines varies, i never know how many there will be

Post your code, perhaps someone can help you.
//edit
If the blank line is the first blank line in the file, then search for the first occurence of "\n\n", and voila.
