how get a whole line of file every time

Now, there is a file named a.txt whose contents is as follows:

Code:

---

adddd
dddddddddd
sdf

---

I want to store them useing list structure,
how to solve it ?

1) open the file as an ifstream
2) use getline on the ifstream to get a string
3) push a copy of the string onto the list.

Code:

---

        ifstream file("path_to_file",ios::in);
        list<string> data;
        string buffer;
        while (getline(file,buffer)) data.push_back(buffer);
        file.close();

---

To check:

Code:

---

        list<string>::iterator it = data.begin();
        while (it != data.end()) {
                cout << *it <<endl;
                it++;
        }
