C++ file streams?

I'm kind of stumped on this one. I want to read in a .txt file with C++'s ifstream object and save it to a string object.

The problem is: I'm having trouble saving the entire contents of the file to a single string, so I can manipulate it.

How can I do that ? >.<

I would use an array of strings. First read the whole file and enumerate the number of lines involved lets call this n, use a while loop for doing this:

while(file.readline())

{

n++;

};

Create string array:

String[] arr = new String[n];

fill in the lines for each line in the file:

int m = 0;

while(file.readline())

{

arr[m] = file.readline().toString();

m++;

}

Then you can manipulate the array of strings, and when you want you can append the strings using a simple for loop.

Also consider the StringBuilder Class it might be a more precise solution.
