ASCII file input

[Sycrupol]

I need to use ASCII files as input to my program, and haven't got a clue about how can i do that (the program should read the file's location from keyboard). So how can i include an ASCII type file into the code? Thanks for all the help beforehand!

open with

// get the filename
char[256] filename;
cin.getline(filename, 256);
ifstream yourFile(filename);

then you can access char by char with get(), use the extraction operator >>, or put the data into a block with read. Also, you need to #include <fstream>
