Thread: Vector Consists of Both Int and String, HELP

Hello,

Let's say i have a text input file consist of numbers and letters. How should i put them into an vector. I want numbers to stay as int, letters as strings.

Code:

void PutInputToArray(ifstream &dfa,tvector<string> &v)
{
	string word;

	  while(dfa >> word)
	{
		  v.push_back(word);	  
		
	}
	  


}

In this code input file reads as it's input is string. What should i do? Should i use templates? How?

Thanks.

I'd store them all as strings and convert them later. If you want to remember what type they are because you only know that at the time you read in, then consider adding more state to an object that holds the type and value, then store instances of that object in the vector.
