Im trying to open a file, and then read a user defined number of characters from said file. I want to do this using scanf but I can't quite figure out how it works. I can get scanf to work just fine but I can't determine how to specify the maximum number of characters to read.

Jump to PostHave you looked into using ifstream? This is the "new way" to read files where scanf is the "old way".
Jump to PostThere is a function called getline(), I'm not familiar with just get(). But you can use the >> operator with ifstream. Take a look and let us know when you run into a particular question.
