How do I input a text file to a linked list?

[d0ugg]

Hello everyone,

I need to load a multi-word strings from a file to a linked list in one of my programs, and i'm not sure how to do that.

my text file looks like this- (the name of the text file is: names.txt)

Here is one of my sample code:

 
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
using namespace std;
 
struct link
{
    int data;
    link* next;
};
 
class linkedlist
{
private:
    link* first;
public:
    linkedlist()
    {
        first = NULL;
    }
    void additem(int d);
    void display();
};
 
void linkedlist::additem(int d)
{
    link* newlink = new link;
    newlink -> data = d;
    newlink -> next = first;
    first = newlink;
}
 
void linkedlist::display()
{
    link* current = first;
    while( current != NULL)
    {
        cout << current->data << endl;
        current = current->next;
    }
}
 
int main()
{    
    ifstream inputFile("names.txt");
 
    linkedlist li;
 
    li.additem("names.txt");
    li.display();
    return 0;
}
 
 

As you see in the main part I'm not sure how to implement the text file into the linked list.
thank you very much in advance

Hi,
If u want to store every word as one node then you have to write the code to read every word and store it to the list.
Your way of adding the filw eont help.
