Thread: Read data from my .txt?

I wanna make a program that can easily read data from my document!

If I have a .txt with these values

Code:

ABC 1 2 3
DEF 4 5 6
GHI 7 8 9

I want to use it as a database...

But how do I make a function that reads data from a specific line and pulls out the numbers behind and gives them all names like

Name = "DEF";
Value1 = 4;
Value2 = 5;
Value3 = 6;

The thign I need is that that I can type in, I want the data from line 10 and then the program takes the data and puts in into my variables

I want to use fstream btw... Iam just not very good at streams atm...

Basically:

Code:

struct CEntry
{
  std::string Name;
  int Value1;
  int Value2;
  int Value3;
};

std::vector<CEntry> EntryList;
std::ifstream File("MyData.txt");

while(!File.eof())
{
  CEntry Entry;
  File >> Entry.Name >> Entry.Value1 >> Entry.Value2 >> Entry.Value3;
  EntryList.push_back(Entry);
}

...in its simplest form. May need some tweaking/error testing though.
