Re: [Dev-C++] Reading from text file

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

Ever heard anyone say that constant numbers within the code is bad?

char* inLine = new char[900];
...
openTextFile.getline(inLine,9000);

How do you expect 9000 characters to fit into a 900 char buffer?

And more - how to you expect to have the extra room to possibly
concatenate "\r\n" to the end of the line?

By the way, why do you mix C and C++ code? Why not use the std::string
class?
