String Getline

I'm having issues getting the getline object to work in my user defined string class. I'm not really sure how to pass what into what.

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. istream& getline (istream& istr, String& s, char delim = '\n')
I know the data from istr needs to get passed into the new string s, and for it to stop once it reaches the delim.

however, when I've tried to look up how to do this, every one i've seen uses the actual getline() statement in their code, and my object code can't use anything from <string.h> <cstring> or <string>

if anyone can give me some direction, greatly appreciated.

Your can use istream::get to fetch a character which you can then add to your String.
