如何使用ifstream c ++从带有换行符的文件中读取字符串？

Question

I used this code to read lines from file, but I noticed, that it didn't read line breaks:

ifstream fs8(sourceFile);
string line;

while (getline(fs8, line))
{
   //here I am doing convertation from utf8 to utf16, but I need also to convert symbol "\n"
}

How to read line with line breaks ?

Answer 1

std::getline() reads data up to a delimiter, which is not stored. By default, that delimiter is '\\n' . So you would have to either:

a) Pick a different delimiter -- but then you would no longer read "lines".

b) Add the newline to the data read ( line += '\\n' ).

I'd go for b), if you really need that newline converted. (I don't quite see why that would be necessary, but who am I to judge. ;-) )
