Correctly getting IFstream?

im going to attempt to try an answer even though im new to c++ i think the problem your describing is because the fstream class's ">>" operation doesnt copy any whitespace into your destination (spaces or newlines)
so if your using a string object as a container try this code:

// assuming your file object is names fin
getline(fin, <destination>);

otherwise this:

fin.getline(<destination>, <size>);

I dont want a get line

I need to get that in 4 parts
Part 1: Rev
Part 2: 22
Part 3: 21
Part 4: The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.You need to first set the general rules as to how all lines are constructed. Otherwise, how will you know which part is Part1, Part2, etc.? You don't know where Part 1 ends and Part 2 begins, etc.

For example, do all lines start with a set of alphabetic characters (denoting Part 1), then followed by a number (denoting Part 2), then followed by a colon separating Part 2 from Part 3, etc.? If there are any lines that do not follow the general pattern, then there is no way to get all the lines correctly parsed.

But in general, if there is a general pattern, all you need to do is read a line in a string, and parse the line yourself using std::string or similar functions.
