Read from textfile and store in multidimensional vectors

garrett (12)
I am attempting to use multidimensional vectors to store the following dataset which is stored in a text file.
I am looking for suggestions on how to design the code.

I am able to determine the number of rows of data by reading the line below. The first digit represents the number of rows.

9G04G09G02G12G27G17G28G08G15


Therefore i able to use the find() and substrc() functions, and convert it to an interger. This would establish one of boundaries of my for loop.
In this case there would be 9 rows of data.



This is the first row of data:


-24389977.51348 -18989277.00846 21084492.8364 21084482.9104
50.0004 38.5004


I need to store this in columns 1 to 6. Here lies one of my problems, if i use the getline function, how do i read the 2nd line.

Within the header which isn't given above, it states how many readings in a row. In this case, there is 6. If the readings are more than 4, it goes to another line.

Also, the characters are always a fixed number apart, therefor i count the characters to extract each value to put them in each column. Then use a for loop to repeat it to the other lines.

I am thinking about structuring my multi-dimensional vectors using the code below. It was suggested by ropez in the forum discussion http://www.cplusplus.com/forum/general/833/ .

vector< vector<int> > vec;

for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
    vec.push_back(vector<int>()); // Add an empty row
}

for (int j = 0; j < 20; j++) {
    for (int i = 0; i < vec.size(); i++) {
        vec[i].push_back(i * j); // Add column to all rows
    }

    }
}

I solved the problem using Data Structures and multi-dimensional vectors.

The code is for an Rinex Observation Reader.

The solution is long, if anyone in the future need assistance feel free to message me.
