Read multiple strings from a file C++

Question

I need to read different values stored in a file one by one. So I was thinking I can use ifstream to open the file, but since the file is set up in such a way that a line might contain three numbers, and the other line one number or two numbers I'm not sure how to read each number one by one. I was thinking of using stringstream but I'm not sure if that would work.

The file is a format like this.

52500.00       64029.50      56000.00
65500.00       
53780.00       77300.00     
44000.50       80100.20      90000.00      41000.00    
60500.50       72000.00

I need to read each number and store it in a vector.

What is the best way to accomplish this? Reading one number at a time even though each line contains a different amount of numbers?

Answer 1

Why not read them as numbers from the file?

double temp;
vector<double> vec;
ifstream myfile ("file.txt");

if (myfile.is_open()) {
  while ( myfile >> temp) {
    vec.push_back(temp);
  }
  myfile.close();
}
