reading from a file

[<HHH>]

i want to read each line of my file in seprated string
what i have achieved till now is i can read the whole lines in one string
and now i want to read each line in a sprated string
any help;

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

using namespace std;

int main(int argc, char *argv[])

{
    ofstream myfile ("example.txt",ios::trunc);
    if (myfile.is_open())
    {
      myfile<<"Hossam Hassan Hossney "<<endl;
      myfile<<"20070123 "<<endl; 
      myfile<<"[e-mail] "; 

      myfile.close();



    }
    else 
    cout<<"unable to open the file";

   ifstream myReadFile;
   string name;
   string temp;
   myReadFile.open("example.txt");
   char output[100];
   if (myReadFile.is_open()) {
   while (!myReadFile.eof()) {

  getline(myReadFile,name);
  cout<<name;


}
}
    system("PAUSE");
    return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}

cin.getline()

is generally the preferred way to do this.

[<HHH>]

can you tell me by example how to use this function

Can't test this but...

while ( getline ( read, line, '\n' ) )

Where

read is ifstream read ( "samplefile.txt" )line is a std::string

Arrays maybe?

Or better yet, vectors, since the number of lines in the file is not known during compilation.

#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <vector>
#include <string>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
    ifstream fin("main.cpp");

    vector<string> lines;

    string curLine;

    while (getline(fin, curLine)) lines.push_back(curLine);

    for (size_t i = 0, size = lines.size(); i < size; ++ i)
        cout << lines[i] << endl;
}
