Loading a text file into a vector <string>

Question

I want to load separately the words on a text file like

text.txt

Hi this is a text file 
with many words
I don't know how many

into a vector<string> how do I go about it?

Answer 1

I'll give you the general algorithm rather than the code.

1. Open the text file in code. C++ has iostream and fstream headers to assist with this.
2. Until you reach EOF, read one line at a time.
3. For each line in step 2, split the line on a space (google string tokenizer)
4. For each token from step 3, add to a vector
5. Close the file

Answer 2

What about this:

#include <fstream>
#include <string>
#include <vector>

using namespace std;

int main(int argc, char* argv[]) {
    vector<string> strings;

    string word;
    ifstream input(argv[1]);
    while(!input.eof()) {
     input >> word;
     strings.push_back(word);
    }

    return 0;
}

It depends what kind of delimiter you'd be using really.
