C++ Read file line by line then split each line using the delimiter

Question

I want to read a txt file line by line and after reading each line, I want to split the line according to the tab "\t" and add each part to an element in a struct.

my struct is 1*char and 2*int

struct myStruct
{
    char chr;
    int v1;
    int v2;
}

where chr can contain more than one character.

A line should be something like:

randomstring TAB number TAB number NL

Answer 1

Try:
Note: if chr can contain more than 1 character then use a string to represent it.

std::ifstream file("plop");
std::string   line;

while(std::getline(file, line))
{
    std::stringstream   linestream(line);
    std::string         data;
    int                 val1;
    int                 val2;

    // If you have truly tab delimited data use getline() with third parameter.
    // If your data is just white space separated data
    // then the operator >> will do (it reads a space separated word into a string).
    std::getline(linestream, data, '\t');  // read up-to the first tab (discard tab).

    // Read the integers using the operator >>
    linestream >> val1 >> val2;
}
