\r\n is what happens when you press return

(enter)

CRLF

no

std::getline gets the newline character too i think

getline reads until and including a new line character basically

remove the last two characters from the string(not the null terminating character tho)

do you use std::string?

well then just do

.pop_back() twice if it really bothers you

or overload operator>> for Book in a way that it only stops when you hit a new line and doesn't stop at backspaces

hmm weird

for me, it doesn't include the \r\n

i hate strings and text in programming tho

you have to worry about encoding, newline difference, etc

@deft narwhal Has your question been resolved? If so, type !solved :)

yeah probably because std::cin throws away whitespaces or something like that

hmm, it is empty even with a file

vsc doesnt have anything to do with this tho

tho i set Visual studio to use LF, so my in.txt only has a \n at the end

int main() {
    std::string line;
    std::ifstream in("in.txt");
    std::getline(in, line);
    return 0;
}
