Go through these lessons: https://www.sololearn.com/learn/CPlusPlus/1920/?ref=app The getline function reads the file line by line and can be used to return a string of a line in the file to either stdout, a variable, a file, etc.

Maleeha Basically, you will have to loop through all lines in the file and save them to some form of data container that you can then access a line by an index to the container. Or, you can loop through all lines in the file until a desired number of lines is reached and then store that specific line.
