I am reading a file with multiple lines, how would I detect when I get to the end of a line inside the file (it's a txt)?

edit: Furthermore, how could I read one character at a time

The eof command will return true if you have reached the end of the file and false otherwise.

To read one character at a time, you can use the : operator on the get command. get a : 1 will read on character. get a : 5 will read 5, and get a : * will read an entire line of input.

Alternatively, if a is of type char, then get a will read only one character.
