Re: [Dev-C++] Re: newbie string parsing question

[Per W. <pw...@ia...>]

Using C for string manipulation isn't dangerous unless you don't know what
to do. Same thing with using a hammer. Don't forget that the majority of
all operating systems in existence uses C with great success.

file >> first_name

still gives you the possibility of loading a multi-megabyte text string,
possibly exhausting the available memory.

In reality, easy code is good when everything is already controlled, or
you don't care about error behaviour. Production quality code normally
need extra tests and protection.
