Using getline() with file input in C++

getline, as it name states, read a whole line, or at least till a delimiter that can be specified.

So the answer is "no", getlinedoes not match your need.

But you can do something like:

inFile >> first_name >> last_name >> age;
name = first_name + " " + last_name;

you should do as:

getline(name, sizeofname, '\n');
strtok(name, " ");

This will give you the "joht" in name then to get next token,

temp = strtok(NULL, " ");

temp will get "smith" in it. then you should use string concatination to append the temp at end of name. as:

strcat(name, temp);

(you may also append space first, to obtain a space in between).
