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.

Answer 2

You could also do this by having two while loops :-/ .

while ( getline(file, line))
{
    istringstream iss(line);

    while(iss >> term)
    {
        cout << term<< endl; // typing all the terms
    }
}

Answer 3

This code snippet extracts the tokens using a single loop.

#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <sstream>

int main(int argc, char **argv) {

    if(argc != 2) {
        return(1);
    }

    std::string file = argv[1];
    std::ifstream fin(file.c_str());

    char i;
    int j, k;
    std::string line;
    std::istringstream iss;
    while (std::getline(fin, line)) {
        iss.clear();
        iss.str(line);
        iss >> i >> j >> k;
        std::cout << "i=" << i << ",j=" << j << ",k=" << k << std::endl;
    }
    fin.close();
    return(0);
}
