Hi,

I need some help with this.

The following code should be reading the file, and outputting it, but it stops when it hits spaces. I need to know how I can get it to read the entire line.

ifstream fin;
fin.open(bunFile.c_str());
string line;
while(!fin.eof()){
  fin >> line;
  cout << line << endl;
}
fin.close();

the bunFile contains an ASCII bunny, but, as I said, it stops when it encounters a space, and doesn't finish reading the line. How can I make this work?

Thanks,
caden911

Use fin.getline().

Thanks. What's the syntax for that?

char *buffer = new char[500];
ifstream x;
x.getline(buffer, 500);

You may want to try this:

ifstream fin;
fin.open(bunFile.c_str());
string line;
// loop until we have lines in the file
while (getline(fin, line))
{
  // the getline function from the while loop does the extraction of line too!
  // here, only the printing function is needed!
  cout << line << endl;
}
fin.close();
