Reading a text file in c++
- by Yavuz Karacabey
string numbers;
string fileName = "text.txt";
ifstream inputFile;
inputFile.open(fileName.c_str(),ios_base::in);
inputFile >> numbers;
inputFile.close();
cout << numbers;
And my text.txt file is:
1 2 3 4 5
basically a set of integers separated by tabs.
The problem is the program only reads the first integer in the text.txt file and ignores the rest for some reason. If I remove the tabs between the integers it works fine, but with tabs between them, it won't work. What causes this? As far as I know it should ignore any white space characters or am I mistaken? If so is there a better way to get each of these numbers from the text file?
