but using your method ToohrVyk, could the flag have been any of the following
eofbit The end of the source of characters is reached during its operations.
failbit No characters were extracted because the end was prematurely found.Notice that some eofbit cases will also set failbit.
badbit An error other than the above happened.
where as using the above, it detects the eof flag?

so getline() returns the istream object.
So by the statement
while (getline(objfile, fullLine))
{
...
}
will that return false if any of the flags are set? which is the same as objfile.good() i believe.
Im just trying to test for end of file, but i would also like a better under standing of the functions.

Yep. It's a standard idiom.

And if the badbit or failbit get set instead, would you really like to do something different? :)
