I'm making a program which needs to read a mixture of number and words
from a text file. For words, I'd use:
  char name[10];
or something like that, to be able to store a word up to 10 characters
long, and read data from the file into this ("dataFile >> name;"). I
also use:
  int number;
to be able to read a number. However, when reading more than one lot of
data, I could use:
  int number[5];
but what would I do for 'name', and how would I read data into it from a
file?

Any help will be greatly appreciated!
