I'm puzzled. Ubuntu or cmd?

Anyway, you may open a file using fopen(), read using fread(), close using fclose(). These are portable (will work both on Linux and on Windows).

Here are some links ('streams' are files):

http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/manual/html_node/Opening-Streams.html[^]

http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/manual/html_node/Block-Input_002fOutput.html#Block-Input_002fOutput[^]

http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/manual/html_node/Closing-Streams.html#Closing-Streams[^]

Welcome to C++,

Pablo.
