Hi, I'm currently working on a small game utilizing a 2d array of int's.
That is, grid[128][128].

What I want to do is read a map from a text file. The format of maps is that
every character in the map file is a certain type of int that will be stored
in the grid.....
My problem is, if I want to read the first 128 characters on the first 128
rows in the text file, how do I get the iostreams to do this?

I've checked several C++ books, but they never tell me how to manipulate the
place it reads from. Any code/pseudo-code would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
