Reading lines of integers from a file..

[adamatbu]

I may be completely missing something here, but I'm trying to figure out how to read in floating-point numbers from a file (multiple lines of floats,) then sort the individual lines and output them to another file in sorted order, still separated by line. The sorting isn't a problem for me, but there's no end of line notification, correct? The only thing I could think of to do was to read it in as a string using getline and then try to convert it back with istringstream, but when I did this, it only worked for the first line of data. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Input file example data:

1 4 3 2 9.5 8.2 120 <------ want to read in individual lines
3 5 22.0 4.4 86 <-------
99 33.6 388 11 31.5 <--------

Do you know how many elements in a row before reading the file? if element count is differ from line to line, do you have any idea about the maximum number of elements out of all lines.

The maximum number of elements per line would be 200.

having constructed you input stream you could just use the >> operator as in

  double d;
 
  MyIStream >> d;
 

However this is not very robust to unexpected data so alternitively having called getline I would call strtod

double strtod ( const char * string, char** endptr );

repeatedly to extract doubles from the line or catch errors.
