can someone tell me how can i read data from text files line by line and store it on a variable.
example:
here is my the data in my textfile.
example.txt
Username: blahblah
Password: wewewe
my problem is how can i get the blahblah and wewewe and store it in a variable. so if i make pass = wewewe, user = blahblah. so i can use that user and pass for my login program
well if that is the only data in the text file and there is a space between the : and the info you want then it is pretty simple. You read in the first part of the line into a dummy variable and then the you read in the second part into the variable you want.
string trash, username, password;
ifstream fin("userinfor.dat);
fin >> trash >> username;
fin >> trash >> password;The reason this works is because the >> operator reads until it see white space. So the first part reads in Username: and then there is only the username left. The same thing goes for the second line. If you have multiple usernames and password then you can also put this in s loop but the data has to be continuous. Thinking of getting info from a file as the opposite of displaying data to the screen.
