Dynamic memory allocation

Hi,

I am trying to process line by line of a file. But I should not be allocating static allocation for reading the contents of the file. The memory should be dynamically allocated. The confusion here is how do I determine the size of each line, put it into a buffer with the memory allocated with the size of the line?


Is there any optimised way to do this?

Thanks,
Anitha
