string::getline
Illustrates how to use the string::getline Standard Template Library (STL) class in Visual C++.
template<class _E, class _TYPE, class _A> inline
basic_istream<_E, _TYPE>& getline(
basic_istream<_E, _TYPE>& Istream,
basic_string<_E, _TYPE, _A>& Xstring,
const _E _D=_TYPE::newline( )
);
Remarks
Notes
The class/parameter names in the prototype do not match the version in the header file. Some have been modified to improve readability.
The getline function creates a string containing all of the characters from the input stream until one of the following situations occurs: - End of file. - The delimiter is encountered. - is.max_str elements have been extracted.
Example
// string_getline_sample.cpp
// compile with: /EHsc
// Illustrates how to use the getline function to read a
// line of text from the keyboard.
//
// Functions:
//
// getline Returns a string from the input stream.
