how to read strings from text file?

Question

i am making a program for matching strings entered by the program and the method of fin.getline()is not working in my way.

Answer 1

I'd have to see the code to be sure it isn't something else.

Answer 2

fin is the input stream object

Answer 3

Assuming fin is the name of the file, try getline(fin, str) where str is a variable that holds the input from the file.
