#include  // you should have this already
char Line[81];  // thats 0-79 chars (80), and 1 null at the end (1), 81!
ofstream funFile;
void main()
{
funFile.open("filename.ext"); // you should have this
funFile.getline(Line,80,'\n') // get line, cutting off at 80 chars or when a 
                              // new line is incountered (\n) (system 
dependent
                              // always use \n for your CRLF or whatever.
cout << Line << endl;         // if I remember right, it doesn't put a \n
                              // on the end of the line in getline, you must
                              // use endl to and an end of line, could also
                              // have used '\n'
funFile.close();
} // end of main
Happy birthday
