I'm trying to read a line of text from a file into a string variable. The easiest way I could see to do this was (I thought) the getline() method, but when I try to use it, I get a compile error saying that I have to use getline() with different parameters (that is, as opposed to "no parameters"). I've looked at a c++ reference, and I see the methods that are available, but they don't make the most intuitive sense to me (ie, how does one declare a cstring? Because .getline() apparently needs one passed to it).
Ultimately, all I have to do is read a line of text from an fstream into a string. Any way I can make that happen is fine by me. So if you guys have any suggestions, it'd be a great help.
