Storing txt file into a string array.

[hvigil]

Does anybody know how to store txt data into a string array?
Im trying to store this into a string array of [6].

text.txt

sounds\\cde.wav
sounds\\door.wav
sounds\\water.wav
sounds\\crow.wav
sounds\\luke.wav
sounds\\welcome.wav

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

int main( int argc, char* argv[] )
{
  const int NUM_LINES = 6;
  std::fstream inFile;
  std::string lines[NUM_LINES];

  inFile.open( "file.txt" );

  if( !inFile )
  {
    std::cout << "Couldn't open file\n";
    return -1;
  }

  for( int i=0; i < NUM_LINES; ++i )
  {
    std::getline( inFile, lines[i] );
  }

  inFile.close();

  return 0;
}

I'd suggest using a vector rather than an array. It means you can add lines to the text file and they'll automatically get read in without having to alter the code.
