How to read each line of a file to array?

[Matt F]

I am trying to read a text file and store each line as a seperate entry in an array. I have tried searching for how to do this but I can only find how to store the whole file into a 1D array.

You should use something like this (c++)

#include <fstream>
#include <iostream>
#include <vector>
#include <string>

using namespace std;

int main(){

ifstream ifs;
ifs.open("filewhatever.txt");
string dat;
vector<string> vecstring;
    while(getline(ifs, dat))
          vecstring.push_back(dat);

return 0;
}

C code goes like this:

#include<stdio.h>

int main(int argc,char *argv[]){

   int i=0;
   arr[20][50];//20 is no of line, 50 is length of line
   FILE *fp;
      
      fp=fopen(argv[1],"r");
      if(fp==NULL)
    {
      printf("Unable to open file %s",argv[1]);
      exit(1);
    }
     
    while(fgets(&arr[i][0],50,fp)!=NULL)
    i++;

return 0;

}
