Storing each line of file with an array of pointers to each line

[kdoggett]

I have a text file with multiple lines.

dog
cat
goat

I want to save it using an array of pointers that point to each line.

I have been trying things like this

	string *polyPointers[50];
	int i = 0;
	while (!polyFile.eof()){
		getline(polyFile, line);
		line >> polyPointers[i++];
	}

I want something like.

polyPointers[0] = pointer to dog
polyPointers[1] = pointer to cat
polyPointers[2] = pointer to goat

Why do you want to use pointers at all? Your line 1 might as well be string poly[50];
