reading specific lines from .txt

[alpihun]

How can I ignore the first xy row while reading from a .txt (start reading from the (xy+1)-th row)?

Read first xy rows and discard them. Alternatively if you know exact size of rows and opened file in binary mode, you can use seekp() method.

[squished18]

string line_to_discard;
int num_to_discard;

for (int i = 0; i < num_to_discard; i++)
{
    getline(fin, line_to_discard);
}

// start reading actual data here
