title: Reading input from file prints strange symbols
body: <p>I'm attempting to solve the Project Euler <a href="https://projecteuler.net/problem=8" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Problem 8</a> with C++, and the problem is to find the greatest product of 5 consecutive numbers in a 1000 digit number. So I'm trying to figure out how to use file io to read the numbers into a char array that I will later convert to integers. The read works except for the last third of the last line I get weird lines, a green lantern symbol, and a heart.</p>

  <pre><code>#include "stdafx.h"
  #include &lt;iostream&gt;
  #include &lt;fstream&gt;
  
  using namespace std;
  
  int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
  {
  
  const int maxNum = 1000;
  char buffer[maxNum];
  char *bufferPointer = buffer;
  
  ifstream infile;
  infile.open("numberlist.txt");
  
  if (!infile)
  {
      cerr &lt;&lt; "Error: Open file failure" &lt;&lt; endl;
      return -1;
  }
  
  infile.read(bufferPointer, streamsize(maxNum));
  infile.close();
  cout &lt;&lt; buffer &lt;&lt; endl;
  return 0;
  
  }

  <p>EDIT: Right after I posted this problem I just realized the problem might be the fact that read is reading the new lines and thus the array isn't big enough to hold it all.</p>
