Reading the First Line of a File into CString

[thebarslider]

I wish to read the first line of file into a CString.

I can open the file but cannot read the first line delimitated by \n.

I've spent ages trying to work this out but to no avail.

I have opened the file using CFile but cannot get any further.

Any help would be much appreciated.

the function getline(void,char*)

getline(cin,cstringthing);

Er whoops i meant you're gonna have to change the cin part to the infile stream ;xxx

hey there,

i've attempted to use this function before but how could read the file in properly.

Do you know how i open the file so that i can place a handle/pointer to it in this stream

I am using MFC so CFile extra is open to be but i cant find and methods in CFile to read in one line.

Mark

You can use the ReadString method of CStdioFile, which is a subclass of CFile and in other aspects nehaves just like a CFile, construction, Open, etc
