How can I get a program to read the entire contents of an html file and echo print it back to the user?
I'm pretty sure I could create a while loop and have it read one character at a time until the end of the file text, but how could I write that?
Any help appreciated fellas, thanks.

The same way you would read text input from any input stream.

This.

If you nneed to parse anything specific from the html I'd recommend htmlcxx
