String trouble

[Jetboy555]

I'm need my program to read the entire first line from a program. and then write it to an output file.

ex: Men's Track Meet

thus far i can only get it to read Men's

this is using the C++ language

thanks

try using getline(). I recently encountered a similar situation. getline() worked perfectly.

Thanks worked perfectly, but i've got another problem.

Sample input:

Men's track Results
=============== =============== =============== ==
1999 Danbury 30 Trinity Catholic 35
2000 Ridgefield 80 Staples High School 50


I want my program to read the year, and then the names of the schools and ignore the scores. The trouble i'm having is with the names of the schools being more then one word.

thanks again

the only thing i can think of at the moment is ignore(). But I am not sure if you can use that because you want to keep the year..

okay i want to keep the scores as well, but the problem is i'm having trouble with schools whose name is longer then one word.
