Open file and print

[Herbalizer]

/*
For some reason the following code does not print
the first line of the txt file. I'm pretty sure
the code is right, dont know if its my compiler
or what not. I'm using dev-c++. Any suggestions
are welcome.
*/

#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <cstring>
using namespace std;

int main () {
char read[100][50];

ifstream input;
input.open("c:\temp.txt");

input.getline(read[0], 50);

cout << endl << read[0] << endl;

system("PAUSE");
return 0;
}

So, i just installed Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 Standard Edition. And im getting the same problem. Can someone with the same compiler tell me if it works for you?

Are you sure your text file doesn't start with a blank line?

Also, don't forget \ is the escape character in C++, so you should really have

input.open("c:\\temp.txt");
