Hullo, folks:

I have a text file- numbers, two decimal places, tab delimited. I'd like
to be able to import this info into a program, and assign each number as a
float. 

It seems like, using fin.getline, you can only pull the data in in char
format. Is there a way to take char format and convert it to float, or is
there some other import method I should be using?

This is the one hurdle keeping me from doing some useful stuff with a
couple of programs I've written. Help would be huge!
