Splitting char on new line

I have some file input code:

std::ifstream temp("temp.tmp", std::ifstream::in);
char line = temp.get();

This is alright for now, and it works, so I am using it. My problem is that I need to check each line to see if it equals "this". std::getline(); hasn't been working to well for me. All I need is some way to split the char line into lines, (in a for loop, maybe??).

std::getline is the way to go. If you can't get it to work, post the code in a new question.

the type of line is not char array, as implied in your question, but rather a single char variable. I strongly urge you to look into std::strings instead of char array (c-style strings). Documentation of strings
