I want to read from a file and if the line starts with "a" put it in one array and if the line starts with "r" put it into a different array. I know i have to use getline but i am not sure on how to do it.

Hey =) I did this real quick for you, try and learn from it and create your own -
My file looks like this -
r I got a left chin
b My ear is bleeding
x Cats are evil
Here is my program:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
int main() {
// http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/files/
string lines[3];
string word;
ifstream myfile("test.txt" );
if (myfile.is_open())
{
int index = 0;
while (myfile >> word)
{
if (word == "r" )
{
getline(myfile, lines[index]);
index++;
}
else if (word == "b" )
{
getline(myfile, lines[index]);
index++;
}
else if (word == "x" )
{
getline(myfile, lines[index]);
index++;
}
}
myfile.close();
}
else { cout << "Unable to open file" ; }
for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++)
{
cout << lines[i] << endl;
}
return 0;
}
output:
I got a left chin
My ear is bleeding
Cats are evil
