identifying end of line while reading data from an ifstream

Is there any way to identify end of line while reading data from an
ifstream?

Use std::getline to read. It automatically stops at the end of a line.

std::getline does that for you. It'll read lines into your buffer until
failure due to eof. The ifstream even has a bit flag to indicate that
eof is the reason the input file stream stopped . Which is nice cause
you can check for non-eof failure-conditions with if(!ifs.eof()) {...}.

Can be tricky, depending on just how perverse your input can be.
But, a construct like
if (cin.peek() == '\n')
can sometimes be useful.
