Adding items from a file to a vector of class

[crimsonzero2]

Hello. I need assistance on how to add a list of information from a file to a vector of a class. Here is my code:

Champion_Info.h

#ifndef CHAMPION_INFO_H_INCLUDED
#define CHAMPION_INFO_H_INCLUDED

#include <vector>
#include <string>

using namespace std;

class Champ_Info
{
  private:
      string champName;
      vector<std::string> items;
      /*
      string item1;
      string item2;
      string item3;
      string item4;
      string item5;
      string item6;
      */

  public:
      Champ_Info();
      void getName();
      void getItems();
      //prints out the champion name and its items
      void print();
      //sends the data to file
      void file();
      //gets info from a file
      void input();
      void Sorted();
      void Edit();
      ~Champ_Info();
};

#endif // CHAMPION_INFO_H_INCLUDED

}

void Champ_Info::getName()
{
    cout << "Enter champion name: " << endl;
    getline(cin, champName);
}

void Champ_Info::getItems()
{
    string item_name;
    cout << "Enter name for:" << endl;

    cout << "first item: " << endl;
    //getline(cin, item1);
    getline(cin, item_name);
    items.push_back(item_name);

    cout << "second item: " << endl;
    //getline(cin, item2);
    getline(cin, item_name);
    items.push_back(item_name);

    cout << "third item: " << endl;
    //getline(cin, item3);
    getline(cin, item_name);
    items.push_back(item_name);

    cout << "fourth item: " << endl;

On line 103, don't use .fail(), use .is_open()

I'm not really sure what you're trying to do. What do you want to be in each string?

[crimsonzero2]

I'm trying to read in from a file a list of info. Like a name (champName) followed by a list of items (vector<std::string> items). I am then trying to input this one object (Champ_Info champion) into a vector of objects (vector<Champ_Info> champions)

[LB]

Yes, but what should be in each string? It looks like you're trying to do something weird with delimiters.

[crimsonzero2]

Here's what an example of the txt file would look like:

name1: item1, item2, item3, item4, item5, item6.
name2: item1, item2, item3, item4, item5, item6.
.
.
.

This is what I'm trying to put within my vector class so I would have a list of them to use later in the program.

Will there always be 6 items or will the number of items vary?

[crimsonzero2]

For now it will always be 6 items, but I may change it to vary in the future.
