Hello,
I have to compare two files, and I was thinking that in order to do that I have to input them into arrays. So, When I try doing that by reading the files line by line it does not work (using getline(myfile,x)). So I think I will change it to myfile.get(x). So my problem is how from that point can I input the file into an array, and how do I compare the lines between the files.
Thank you

	cout << endl;	

	ifstream myFile;
	myFile.open(filename.c_str());
	if (myFile.fail())
	{
		cout << "Failed to open the file: ";
		cout << filename << endl;
	}
	else
	{	
		string filename2;

Try treating the file stream as binary, then read one memory block at a time. That would prevent any problems with overly large files. (Reading an entire file into memory is pretty insecure.)
