Reading a File into an Array

golfgirl32 · 10-20-2010, 10:32 PM

I know that this is a really simple thing to do but I just can't figure it out. How do I read a text file into an array in C++? Help would be appreciated

No that confused me even more. Should I just declare the array and then afterward make sure the file opens?

This is the program I have so far...

Code:

#include <iostream>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>

using namespace std;

// Function prototypes (ensure you add the comments)

int main()
{
    ifstream input;

    input.open("numbers.txt");
    if (input.fail())
    {
        cout<<"Input file opening failed.\n";
        exit(1);
    }


    return 0;

    input.close();
}
