Fast File Reading

There's a million ways to skin a cat or read a file but for my money this is the best

void FileToString(std::string filename, std::string& string)

{

    std::ifstream file;

    file.open(filename.c_str(), std::ios::binary | std::ios::ate);

    if (!file.is_open())

    {

        throw std::exception("Unable to read from file");

    }

    long lBufferSize = file.tellg();

    file.seekg(0, std::ios::beg);

    string.resize(lBufferSize +1);

    file.read(&string[0], lBufferSize);

    file.close();

}
