As far as C++ cares, there's no such thing as a file being random or
sequential - there are just files, and you can access any of them
randomly or sequentially.
In this case, you'd do something like this:
string lines[max_lines];
    ifstream input("input_file.txt");
    for ( int i=0; i < max_lines && !input.bad(); i++)
        input >> lines[i];
Depending upon how new it is, your compiler may not support the `string'
data type, in which case you'll have to read your lines into buffers of
characters.
    Later,
    Jerry.
