Table of contents
char var1[4]; // stack
char var2[4]; // stack
char var3[4]; // stack
std::stringstream input( "1234567890\nABCDEFG\nRSTUVX" );

input.getline( var1, '\n' );
fmt::print( "var1: '{}' var2: '{}' var3: '{}'\n", var1, var2, var3 );
Possible output
var1 address: 0x7ffee672927c
var2 address: 0x7ffee6729278
var3 address: 0x7ffee6729274
var1: '' var2: '' var3: ''
Input -> var2
var1: '56789' var2: '123456789' var3: ''
Input -> var1
var1: '' var2: '1234' var3: ''
