Very beginner - Reading a fixed number of characters in a line C++
<p>This is a pretty basic question as I've just started in C++. I am to read 20 characters of a line from a file (text). Example:</p>

<pre><code>Wayne, Bruce        0000000
</code></pre>

<p>I would want to save "Wayne, Bruce" and the spaces following it into a string. I've been trying for a while and I can't figure out how to go about this. As such, if anybody could help me out, I ask that the answer is kept simple. I tried googling this and think I found some answers, but most of them were way over my head. Thank you.</p>
