Reading text from file

[aerowenn]

I have text in the following format that I need to read to a parallel array:

John Doe
Jane Doe

I just need to know how to read in a string and then stop the pointer at whitespace, and how once at the end of the line, to jump to the next line.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

The >> operator does this automatically

You will need to use std::cin.ignore() once you reach the end of the line to ignore the '\n' character.
