Read file line by line

The contents of file.txt are:

5 3
6 4
7 1
10 5
11 6
12 3
12 4

Where 5 3 is a coordinate pair. How do I process this data line by line in C++?

I am able to get the first line, but how do I get the next line of the file?

ofstream myfile;
myfile.open ("text.txt");

First, make an ifstream :

#include <fstream>
std::ifstream infile("thefile.txt");

The two standard methods are:

int a, b;
while (infile >> a >> b)
{
    // process pair (a,b)
}

#include <sstream>
#include <string>

std::string line;
while (std::getline(infile, line))
{
    std::istringstream iss(line);
    int a, b;
    if (!(iss >> a >> b)) { break; } // error

    // process pair (a,b)
}

You shouldn't mix (1) and (2), since the token-based parsing doesn't gobble up newlines, so you may end up with spurious empty lines if you use getline() after token-based extraction got you to the end of a line already.

Use ifstream to read data from a file:

std::ifstream input( "filename.ext" );

If you really need to read line by line, then do this:

for( std::string line; getline( input, line ); )
{
    ...for each line in input...
}

But you probably just need to extract coordinate pairs:

int x, y;
input >> x >> y;

Update:

In your code you use ofstream myfile; , however the o in ofstream stands for output . If you want to read from the file (input) use ifstream . If you want to both read and write use fstream .

Since your coordinates belong together as pairs, why not write a struct for them?

struct CoordinatePair
{
    int x;
    int y;
};

Then you can write an overloaded extraction operator for istreams:

std::istream& operator>>(std::istream& is, CoordinatePair& coordinates)
{
    is >> coordinates.x >> coordinates.y;

    return is;
}

And then you can read a file of coordinates straight into a vector like this:

#include <fstream>
#include <iterator>
#include <vector>

int main()
{
    char filename[] = "coordinates.txt";
    std::vector<CoordinatePair> v;
    std::ifstream ifs(filename);
    if (ifs) {
        std::copy(std::istream_iterator<CoordinatePair>(ifs), 
                std::istream_iterator<CoordinatePair>(),
                std::back_inserter(v));
    }
    else {
        std::cerr << "Couldn't open " << filename << " for readingn";
    }
    // Now you can work with the contents of v
}
