How would I go about reading in a file where each line is a single number, then outputing that number into a vector of lines?
eg: file.txt contains:
314
159
265
123
456
I have tried this implementation:
vector<int> ifstream_lines(ifstream& fs) {
vector<int> out;
int temp;
getline(fs,temp);
while (!fs.eof()) {
out.push_back(temp);
getline(fs,temp);
}
fs.seekg(0,ios::beg);
fs.clear();
return out;
}
but when I attempt to compile, I get errors such as:
error C2784: 'std::basic_istream<_Elem,_Traits> &std::getline
(std::basic_istream<_Elem,_Traits> &,std::basic_string<_Elem,_Traits,_Alloc> &)' :
could not deduce template argument for 'std::basic_istream<_Elem,_Traits> &' from 'std::ifstream'
so, obviously, something is wrong. Is there a more elegant solution than what I am trying? (Assuming 3rd party libraries like Boost are unavailable)
Thanks!
I suspect you want something like this:
#include <vector>
#include <fstream>
#include <iterator>
std::vector<int> out;
std::ifstream fs("file.txt");
std::copy(
std::istream_iterator<int>(fs),
std::istream_iterator<int>(),
std::back_inserter(out));
