How to read uptill a particular character in a file, without going through the file, character by character?

Want to detect the '\n' without going through each and every character of a text file. Any hints?

Something has to read all the bytes to check for that delimiter.

Use one of the getline (or istream::getline) functions so that the library does the searching, not your code.
