How to assign a value from a txt file to a variable, like this I tried to take only one letter first.

  std::string name;
  name = fin.get();

Answer 1

std::ifstream fin("C:/ProgramData/Data/name.txt");
std::string name;

That's the way it should be. If you want to read the entire file into a line, see the example .
