Having problem working with DAT files!

I want to know if there is any function in that reads a whole line from a file each time I use it. The file format is txt.

What methods are you using now instead of reading the entire line? Reading an entire line is the same as reading each char until you reach a '\n' or whatever Microsoft's version of a '\n' is.

Thanks for replying.You mean I use a loop, get one character a time, concatinate them to a string until I reach a '\n' ?
Is there any simpler way for doing that?

Yes, it depends on what libraries you want to use, or what your instructor allows. If it is an exercise in using file streams and reading bytes into strings I expect a loop will be your only answer.

you can use fgets() in C
http://www.cplusplus.c om/reference/clibrary/cstdio/fgets.html

and getline() in C++
http://www.cplusplus.c om/reference/iostream/istream/getline.html

Example of how to use fgets/fputs(C code), function readin a line from stdin and send it to stdout , no loops:

int mygetline(char *line, int max)
{
if(fgets(line,m ax,stdin)==NULL ) return 0;
else {fputs(line,std out);
return 1;
}
}
