Getline word by word

[Archa4]

Here is my problem:
I have a .txt file, that contains only words. I need to write them into the second file in alphabetic order.
I have to use 26 stacks (one of the rules of task). I have an array of 26 pointers (something like Stack * abc[25]. I have to read from the incoming file first word as a string, but i don't know how to do it... I think i should alter the getline, but i don't know how. Could someone please help?

Take a look at std::string and file i/o.

Also, a classmate of yours asked the same question a while ago. You might find the answers we gave him useful too.

Still can not get it. Why does



fstream fin ("mail.txt", ios::in);
string s;
istream& getline (istream& fin, string& s, char ' ');
getline (fin, s);

not work?

[guestgulkan]

fstream fin ("mail.txt", ios::in);
string s;
istream& getline (istream& fin, string& s, char ' ');//????????
getline (fin, s);

Should be:

fstream fin ("mail.txt", ios::in);
string s;
//istream& getline (istream& fin, string& s, char ' ');
getline (fin, s, ' ' ); 

Doesn't the simpler method below work (or is it a part of the excercise that you use the getline function?

fstream fin ("mail.txt", ios::in);
string s;
fin >> s;

I mean wow

I waited 3 days for some one to write this

fstream fin ("mail.txt", ios::in);
string s;
fin >> s;

THANK YOU VERY MUCH

Which contained virtually the same answer in the example at the bottom.
