read an entire file into a string variable

[blackdragonx896x]

I'm trying to make a subprogram,

Code: Select all

void getfile(istream& in, string& theFile)

that can read an entire file into a string variable, including line breaks and i have no idea what im doing. I'm using Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003.
Thanks in advance for the help
