Try creating a File class (if you don't know about classes yet, read about it on our reference pages.)

In the class, include methods that allow you to open a file (preferably in the constructor) and a method to read the sequence of characters in the current line. Store the characters read in an std::vector<std::string>. Depending on how you want to implement this and what OS you are using, you can use the character data in the vector to output to a text box. Then, you can use the file stream (input or bidirectional file stream) to output spaces where the characters were. There are ways to output nul characters, but I don't know the details of this as (I think) it depends on your OS... ?
