Here I thought my stepfather was the world's biggest packrat, but he's been beat. It appears that the Internet never throws anything away, even evidence of my geekiest (and previously married) days:

i have a question about using C++ to read in data from files which are not white-space delineated (in fact, some of the data will be in Fortran's scientific notation (-1.456e+2, for example, and some of the data may come from dialog boxes). we are unsure at this point as to how to read this data in. cin won't work, and while we have gotten hold of some sample programs that utilize the "atoi" command, it's only in the context of the argc and argv commands, and i think those are only needed if we run this on UNIX (which we're not). can someone supply me with some info on atoi, as well as any info about reading in string data? i may not be explaining this too clearly, as i'm part of a research group that's just now learning c++. we haven't found too much in the documentation that we have.....
any info would be appreciated

Oh, yes, this was from my "trying to master C++" days. As well as my "I'm so cool, I don't need to use capital letters" days. Yeeks. On the plus side, it wasn't long after I posted this email that I started my first (now-defunct) web site that was all about me, freedom of speech, and industrial music.
