You can load the files in using the fstream.

 C++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
ifstream inFile;
vector<string> data;
inFile.open("File.txt");
while (!inFile.eof())
{
     string sString = inFile.getline();
     data.push_back(sString);
}
ifstream inFile;
vector<string> data;
inFile.open("File.txt");
while (!inFile.eof())
{
     string sString = inFile.getline();
     data.push_back(sString);
}

Something like that should do the trick for filling a vector from a file. It might not be syntactically correct, since I didn't try to compile it.
