So far I have this:

sf::Text text2("One moment I'm going out with this cute girl and the next, I get stabbed in the chest with", font, 50); //77 Characters
        text2.setPosition(100,790);
        sf::Text text3("a spear. What to do now...just wait? Hmm, I wish I had more time to at least say goodbye", font, 50); //77 Characters
        text3.setPosition(100,860);

using file stream, is it possible to simplify it down to something where it would read a line at a time and once it has read 77 characters, it would move on and fill text3, then text4, etc?

Hello, I am creating a Visual Novel by hand and I have gotten to the point where I should start inputting text. Is there anyway I can write all my text into, .txt files and SFML will read it? Ive looked at all the formatting already and at most I can have 5 lines at a time and each line can have 77 characters maximum. Should I use fstream or do people recommend something else
