#include<fstream.h>int max = 20 ;  // max charactors to get
char word_in_line[3][max]={0};  2 dim. array to split up the 3 "words"
input.open("textfile.txt") ;
input.getline(word_in_line[0] ,'32') ;  //stops at the first white space   32
= spacebar
input.getline(word_in_line[1] ,'32')
input.getline(word_in_line[2] ,'32')

input.close( ) ;

//you can now output them any why you like
