Use 'fopen' and 'fgets'. If you have to use C++, use 'ifstream' and
'getline' (into a std::string), then use the c_str member to extract
the C string out of the C++ string.

What Victor said, only a small note that there may be a '\n' character
(that's new line) you have to watch out for if you want to include the
sentence in the middle of, say, a paragraph (like an adlibs thing).
You'll either want to remove this character (it's at the last position
in your string/char array) or exclude it from the variable it in your
read in.
