Hi,
I'm trying to read a file in with and assigne the stream to a char * type. I've manged it using the cin.get returning type char, but am having run-time problems returning a char *. For example,

char *pStream = "file.txt";

ifstream from(pStream);
from.open(pStream);

cin.get(pStream, FileSize, '\n');

However, the pStream in cin.get(pStream, FileSize, '\n'); does not seem to work at run-time, as it just hangs.

Ive sorted this now -
char *pStream = new char[200];
char *pFile = "file.txt";

ifstream is(pFile);
if(!is) error("Cannot open File", pFile);
if(is.good())
{
while(is.get(pStream, 200, EOF))


the problem was that you can't call the ifstream constructor twice ie is.open(pFile) and is.get(pStream)!!
