You can use vectors for this:

1. declare/open a file-stream for reading (using std::ifstream )
2. declare a vector of strings (std::vector<std::string>)
3. if you haven't already reached the end of file, then do the following, else goto 8:
4. declare a temporary string that will hold the next line (std::string temp;).
5. fill this temporary string with the current line of your file (std::getline)
6. add the string to your string-vector (using push_back function)
7. go back to 3
8. close the file

If you are not aware of vectors then http://www.cppreference.com/cppvector/index.html

Gi,
If the file size is huge then reading it at a short wont be very effective.
Try to split the file into smaller sizes and then have a logic to to open these files in a loop on by one and then read it
