getline in C++ does not limit the delim character with just a newline. if I wanted, I could do a getline on a string stream where the line ends with "|". example: strstream sin; sin.getline( szBuffer, nLength, '|' ); I would think this would be highly useful. It is just a suggested feature to add. Also, with getline, it does not return the delim "|" character in the szBuffer.
