if you're using the C++ ifstream class, try getline().  i don't remember
if it's a member function:

an_ifstream.getline(a_string);

or just a regular function:

getline(a_string, an_ifstream);

one of those should work though.  if not, open up iostream.h and search
for getline and see how it should be done.
