beginner question

[jvax]

Hi all,

I hope I'm posting in the right NG...
I have a data text file I want to read from a c++ program.
the data file goes like this:

90 # number of balls
33
42
13
45
23
...
...

I want to store the number in the first line in a variable ommitting
the following comment, then scan the rest and store it in an array.
The array I could get it done with no problem. The first line is a
problem. When I delete the "# number of balls" comment, the following
code works fine, but I need to have the comment after the number.
here's my code so far:

while (!valid) {
cout << "Name of test file: ";
cin >> filename;
#define TESTER_FILE filename
if ((tester = fopen(TESTER_FI LE, "r")) == NULL)
cout << "Please enter a valid file." << endl;
else
valid = 1;
}
valid = 0;
fclose(tester);
cout << endl;
int try_with_same_d ata = 1;
while (try_with_same_ data) {
ifstream Test_file (TESTER_FILE, ios::in);
Test_file >> BinSize;
...
...
}

How can I scan the first line, get the number and then go to next
line?

thanks for any help.

in >> count;

// Ignore everything up to and including the next newline

// is delimited by a newline character.]
in.ignore(std:: numeric_limits< streamsize>::ma x, '\n');
