searching for tabs in text file

[Brian Henry]

I'm reading in a text file usein fstream, and I want to look for where
fields are split up by tab seperators. (tab delimited) and read it into the
app, now the fields are variable length characters (how do i read in a
variable length char field?) and how do i tell where the tabs are seperating
the fields? It's been a while since i wrote in c++, thanks!

For managed C++:
Read the file line by line (TextReder.ReadLine)

Then split the string using
string[] sl = string.Split("\t");
Now you have an array of strings.
For normal C/C++:
You have to do the abouve thing by hand (manybe you can use STL to help
you; but there is a problem with getline...)

Do you need a memory-leak finder ?
