How to ignore newline characters when reading file in list format

[eyeswideorange]

I am trying to read a file with a list of titles and authors, and I need to be able to ignore the newline character that separates each line in the file.
For example, my .txt file might have a list like this:

The Selfish Gene
Richard Dawkins
A Brave New World
Aldous Huxley
The Sun Also Rises
Ernest Hemingway

I have to use parallel arrays to store this info, and then be able to format the data like so:

The Selfish Gene (Richard Dawkins)

I was trying to use getline to read the data, but when I go to format the title and author, I get this:

The Selfish Gene
(Richard Dawkins
)

How do I ignore the newline character when I read in the list from the file?
This is what I have so far:

        int loadData(string pathname)
        {
        string bookTitle[100];
        string bookAuthor[100];
        ifstream inFile;
        int count = -1; //count number of books
        int i; //for variable
    
        inFile.open(pathname.c_str());
        {
            for (i = 0; i < 100; i++) 
            {
                if(inFile)
                {
                    getline(inFile, bookTitle[i]);
                    getline(inFile, bookAuthor[i]);
                    count++;
                }
            }
            inFile.close();
            return count;
        }

I greatly appreciate any help!

Something else is going on because getline() does strip the newline from the end of the string.

I believe he wishes to skip the blank lines between the title and author lines Duoas.

                if(inFile)
                {
                    getline(inFile, bookTitle[i]);
                    inFile.ignore();

                    getline(inFile, bookAuthor[i]);
                    inFile.ignore();

                    count++;
                }

Sorry, I didn't mean to format that list with the blank lines between the authors and titles. I did that because that's how you do it in Stackoverflow.
It was supposed to just be:
The Selfish Gene
Richard Dawkins
A Brave New World
Aldous Huxley
The Sun Also Rises
Ernest Hemingway

THANK YOU SO MUCH SLOPPY9!!! I realized my problem. The .txt file my instructor gave us was corrupt, or in some funny format, or having problems from his Windows machine to my Mac, or something. I copy and pasted the exact list of titles and authors into a new .txt file on my machine, and wa lah! It works like a charm!
