istringstream - how to do this?

Question

I have a file:

a 0 0
b 1 1
c 3 4
d 5 6

Using istringstream, I need to get a, then b, then c, etc. But I don\'t know how to do it because there

Answer 1

ifstream file;
file.open("file.txt");
string line;

getline(file,line);
istringstream iss(line);
iss >> id;

getline(file,line);
istringstream iss2(line);
iss2 >> id;

getline(file,line);
iss.str(line);
iss >> id;

istringstream copies the string that you give it. It can't see changes to line. Either construct a new string stream, or force it to take a new copy of the string.
