Parsing by char

[vexstorm]

I am trying to read a title in from a file... how would i parse by char to create the title or is there a way to make it read up to the delimiter??

ex.

The Red Field#319831

How would i go about getting The Red Field into a string??

thanks...

Check out getline.
I would try something like:

ifstream infile("filename");
string mystring;
getline(infile, mystring, '#');

Or you may tokenize the string, i.e. divide it into bits that are seperated by characters you select.
