Question

string GetLine()
{
char parameter[26] = {NULL};

inFile.getline (parameter,26,' ');

return parameter;
}

Now an example of my input file looks like this:

~in.txt~

BAC BCA(space after the last A)

~End File~

I have to have that space after the A or else my function to get line won’t work. Is there a way to not have a space after the A and still get it to work?

I have 26, because the input line will only have up to 26 letters in it.

I need to have them separated like I have it because this is how I use it:

string in, post;
in = GetLine();
post = GetLine();

Thanks for any suggestions on this, this is very small chunk of code for the program i’m still working on. I just wanna cover my bases because my Professor is testing this program with his own input file and I don’t know if his input file will end with a space.

This is kind of a silly redundant function, and I don’t know why you would call it “GetLine”, but here ya go:

string GetLine()
{
    string s;
    infile >> s;
    return s;
}
