getline with fstream

[FantastichenEin]

std::string CFile::GetLine()
{
std::string line;
std::getline(this->file, line, '/n'); // Error is here
}

I cannot get the above to work, any ideas why?
this->file is an fstream.

From the looks of the debug, it looks like getline won't accept an fstream?

huge thanks

It's that '/n'. You need to use '\n'. Or better still, just leave it out. It knows to look for a newline.

Getline does not return the \n in it's output, assuming '\n' is the delimter used for getline:

If the delimiter is found, it is extracted but not stored.
