Working with vectors and read file

[gregarion]

Hey guys, i am working with a program to basically read an input for a file and then storing it into a vector. my text file is called Sample.txt and contains data like this..

How are you coping with programming?  
The quick brown fox jumps over me.

Here are my codes..

int main (){
  
     vector<string>myVec; // declaring a vector

     int threshold ;
     cout << "Enter threshold number: " ;
     cin >> threshold;  //store user input into interger variable
     int i = 0;
   fstream readFile("sample2.txt"); // prepare to read from file
       string Numeral ;
    char delimeter = ' ';
    string word ;
while (getline(readFile,Numeral, delimeter))
{
    word = Numeral;
    i ++;
    
myVec.push_back(word);

}
    int g = myVec.size();

    for(int i = 0; i < g ; i ++){
        cout << myVec[i] << endl;
    }
    cout << i << endl;
    cout << g << endl;
    
}

Well, the output i am trying to achieve is basically listing down each word in the text file like this..

But for some reason, my output keeps coming out like this.

There is a gap before "The". I guess it is being caused due to "The" being in a new line. Is there any way i am able modify my codes to read each word in my text without worrying bout newlines and all?

Before you push_back the word, I think you can just test if it is a new line like this:

if(word == "\n")
  continue;

Let me know if that does what you're looking for.

Thanks,

if (line != "\n"){
myVec.push_back(line);
 //   }
}

did you mean something like this? i placed this in line 17 but the same output still comes out.

[daviddoria]

What you did will do exactly what my "continue" did, it is like a double-negative :)

However, it isn't working for me either - I guess this is not how you are supposed to check for newlines? Someone else will fix my mistake soon :)

[gregarion]

I am not sure if the mistake is just a newline itself or what. For some reason, i feel that the word "The" in the second line is attached with a " " which is why its coming out like that.

to test for a newline i do

if (word != '\0')
    myVec.push_back(word);

[daviddoria]

NathanOliver - it doesn't seem to like comparing a string to a character - could you have meant word!="\0" ? When I did that, it still did not skip the blank line.

[NathanOliver]

Yes sorry I did mean word!="\0" . In this case the call to getline leaves the string blank if there is a newline so this will work to get rid of the extra line.

if (!word.empty())
    myVec.push_back(word);

However when I was doing this and I copied your text file there was a couple extra spaces after the ? in the first sentence that was causing a problem. After I deleted those extra spaces it worked perfectly. If your program has to deal with cases like that then a different approach will be needed.
